Ben Pettit

I find myself in this place of discouragement. I feel that it is so hard to listen to someone who doesn’t know the Lord. What I mean is, someone comes to you with all their problems and their life that is so messed up. I really want to advise them and encourage them, but I feel like I can’t. Here is the thing, I know what they need. They need JESUS. They need Christ who died for them and wants to have a personal relationship with them.

I guess what I am saying is, you can’t advise someone who doesn’t know the Wonderful Counselor as Lord and Savior. So I feel like in one way I’m suppose to listen to the problems they have, but I know I’m not. I shouldn’t know or care about there sin. It’s kind of like Perry says at church so often, “I don’t want something from you, I want something for you”. For you to know Jesus Christ. I’ve prayed for some of my friends until I’ve had tears following like rivers. My heart aches for those who don’t know the Lord. My life has been forever changed by Jesus Christ and I want that so badly for everyone I meet.

Now unto the lamb who sits on the throne
Be glory and honor and praise
Call all the saints to join in the song
Worship and praise him the Lord of Lords
