I read a book that truly brought me closer to God than the bible ever did
Me
Which?
Her
Les miserables
Me
There's plenty of books that can do that.. Like books pastors write and touching secular books that point out how life is.. But look at the Bible as like a letter, especially when Jesus spoke, for your to read. And something happens when you dump effort into reading it.
Her
Not really . Most of what they say are [nonsense] to me. I don't rely on faith alone
Following that I told her I'd send her an email that might convince her to believe, but I decided to postpone and never actually did due to her one text "Not really . Most of what they say are [nonsense] to me. I don't rely on faith alone".
On September 16 she sent me a text that had nothing to do with the same topic. I tried to apologize for not sending her the email while diverting the fact that I hadn't sent it to her because of my understanding of Matthew 7:6. She then asked me twice to send it and the conversation ended with
Me
Can i ask you a question then?
Her
Go for it
Me
Why did you call what "they"are saying, people from the bible, nonsense?
Her
Meh I dont know
Then on September 18 she calls me asking for it again. I can't quote the conversation because I don't really remember it in detail. I basically told her no. She got upset and that was that.
So then I text her
Me
I'm sorry. <anonymous> don't let your heart harden
Her
Whatever life sucks
Me
Why what's wrong?
Her
Life just never gets better
I'm worried that either her heart was changed and I rejected the opportunity to do something, or that it remains how it was and that I might be taking this the wrong way. I know nothing I do or say will save her. I know that it will be the Lord Himself that does if ever. But I also know that people are often used as instruments to aid in the process. It seems to me that she wants to know and believe. If it weren't for that one little ugly text message I wouldn't even be fretting over this.. Anyway, her desire and her little blasphemy have me split. I've prayed that either one of you will either help me discern the full scenario, or that God Himself will answer through his means. I've also asked that if I am to do nothing that He will take care of it. Thank you all for going through this with me.
