Re: For those who chose to stay
Hey! After reading your post I was reminded about all the times I had a similar feeling. As a college student in the church life I am sometimes discouraged. I have never had the feeling to leave in the same sense but often times especially with Covid I doubt myself and the saints around me. What has allowed me to stay is knowing that no church is perfect but the Lord is the one who has put me here. We are all Shepard’s but we are also sheep. The Lords tender care over me, Him putting me in the church life, putting me in a divine family, and affording me the opportunity to see the high peak of the divine revelation is what has kept me all these years. The Lord meets us where we are at. If you feel angry or frustrated or mad , tell Him. Even when I am mad at my situation I tell the Lord. He likes to hear us. He might not fix our situation but He does supply Himself to us as grace. No church is better than others, in fact I have many Christian friends from other churches that I enjoy the Lord together with. It probably has to do with the fact that I grew up in the church life but after cultivating a family here and knowing that our life is not our own but the Lords is what has allowed me to stay. As the church we know we are knitted together with ALL believers and we stand on the same ground with all those who call on Him with a pure heart. I hope all is well with you and would like to keep up with what you decide to do (:
