Things I left unsaid.
There are always word's you wish you had not said. But its the words I should have spoken that haunt me instead.
I should have told my grandmaw I loved her. But I waited so those words will be forever unsaid.
That lost chance is sad as any can tell. Yet there are worse things I have left unspoken. In which the consequnce could be heaven or hell.
There was my friend from high school, who not to long ago took his life.
We were friends for a long time, but I never showed him GOD was the light.
Then there was my cousins friend who one night I gave a ride. As I drove we talked. I could see the pain and hurt in his eyes. We spoke of faith and how we both should try. Still the truth about salvation I kept inside. Now I'm just left to wonder what might have been. Because a few weeks later they buried my cousins friend.
Now I wish I could write about these two and say it was the end. But many times I was asked about GOD and often I kept it in.
Like one I was at my girls dads house just chewing the fat. When his friend starts talking about GOD how to be saved this and that. He talked about things he had done, maybe things he wished he could erase. I didnt tell him JESUS died to forgive his sins, I didnt think it was my place. He said I guess a man can never know if he is really saved, starring in wonder with confusion on his face. I just hung my head and waited on someone else to speak. The words he needed to hear they never came. He walked away from two spirit filled christians his soul totally unchanged.
These are the things that haunt me some nights in bed. I pray he will hear the truth, someone will say what I left unsaid.
Now after these things you think I would have learned.
To be bold in the spirit and address these concearns.
Still there was a similar conversation as you soon will learn.
It was while talking with my grandpaw after some awful news he had recieved. The diagnosis is cancer they are not sure it can be beat.
But through this dark cloud, a ray of hope appeared. My grandpaw went to church, a place he had not been in years.
We sat talking one day discussing his remaining time. He started to talk about GOD and how he knew everything would be fine. He said he asked GOD into his heart and to forgive him of his sins.
He said isnt that all I need to do? as I sat silent again. He was asking me for conformation and I sat silent again.
