There are also some who harbor bitter hatred towards God because of past pains and disappointments.

The lives of God's children are as diverse as His entire creation.

That why I am not sure what is "genuinely saved" and who are really children of God. I certainly hope myself to be. But somehow I guess I can never be 100% sure until that day.

I can only trust God that He knows who to choose.
