Friendships

It is a sad thing how experience has taught me this...

Whenever a really close friend has returned to their vomit - or is out of the will of YHVH - they stop talking to me.

Where once, we would talk on the phone for hours at a time - that ceases.

Something else has occupied their heart and mind.

--------------------------

In the invisible realm, I can't help but imagine that what happens is we are all gathered around YHVH with hearts filled with joy, laughter, merriment, warmth...

We are all in one accord - we are ECHAD...

YHVH is our source of joy and strength and confidence...

And because we are all surrounding Him, we enjoy one another as well...

But the minute one of us turns their head away from YHVH as the center of attention and looks over their shoulder, turning their back on YHVH, and running to something else or someone else for their source of joy and strength and confidence...

That person departs from YHVH... departs from the group surrounding Him... departs...

And no more is the fellowship found as it once was.

Until they turn away from their vomit - until they turn away from their new-found ba'al - until they come back into alignment with the will of YHVH and His ways ...

Regardless of what THEY believe should be the truth... what THEY believe should be the right way to live...

UNTIL they RETURN to YHVH...

They are out of fellowship.

And the Spirit of YHVH - the set-apart Spirit - grieves in me for these friends.

I know who they are.
I won't reveal who they are.
They know who they are too.
The shoe fits. But they'll try to prevent it from fitting. They'll push it off.

It is not for me to do the sprinkling of water to cleanse them.
That is for YHVH to do.

I will move on with Him -

YHVH GIVES, YHVH TAKES AWAY. BARUCH HASHEM YHVH LEOLAM VAED !!
