I need help with my feelings about how God blesses a person who used to be my best friend and now just a friend. This person was young and full of the love of Christ when I met them. Blessing everyone around especially the homeless. I'd never seen such a big and loving heart before. When their spouse was given a wonderful job and given a new home outright with no mortgage or rent after having done nothing for many years but do drugs and live off of their parents, they have changed over the years! Becoming judgemental of those who don't have enough to live without assistance and the homeless whom they once loved and cared for. Their new community is seriously lacking in any diversity and they have come to the conclusion that those who complain about and are the victims of harm because of what they look like, are lying. When I remind them of Christ's loving, caring, and kind nature, I am told that there comes a time when you have to put all of that aside and get things done! This person still claims to love and trust God now more than ever and gives their testimony freely by which everyone who hears has tears in their eyes and it blesses so many. They just seem to have forgotten all they went through to be in the position they are in now. The things that bring tears to other people's eyes are the very things that their heart has grown cold to when happening to others. I struggle with God's continued blessing of their family. Free home, executive level job with no education, cars, free country club membership, etc and given to one who has such conflicting ideas of how our Father loves even after being brought so far is hard to deal with. Please pray for me to remember that God's ways are above our own and these things are done according to His plan.
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."
