You’re just like me.
We both believe that when God speaks to us
The only right response is obedience
And that even when it doesn’t make complete sense
We’ve gotta weigh our minds against His
That’s how He tells us to live, isn’t it?
Seems other people aren’t so supportive
But I feel you; that’s why I steel my mind too
We’re filled with faith, fortified by the few who take our sides
But that’s why we fell, we didn’t listen
But we would’ve failed if we had.
At least that’s how we feel
I feel you
That’s why we still believe
I feel you, Harold Camping
Heartbroken and falling apart
But when you’ve got words from God, you’ve got to press on regardless
Just cause we don’t completely comprehend it
Don’t mean our stories have ended
I understand you Harold Camping.
When do we know that we’ve gotta let go though?
At what point can we stand before God 100% sure we are wrong and not hear Him call us on our lack of faith?
And what if waiting means watching our lives pass us by?
Would the reward be worth the sacrifice if we ARE right?
Do we have any right to question God like that?
Mr. Camping, it seems that we’re quite alike.
Here’s to the hope that you and I can find the answers we desire.
I think I understand what you are saying. We must follow God by understanding him the best we can. If we misunderstand him, at least we attempted to follow him, and that’s what God cares about. I dig this.
Hm… I think Harold Camping is nuts, myself, but I appreciate hearing the other side…
Haha, he was definitely VERY wrong and most logical people could unquestionably tell you that before it even happened. He may be crazy, but I wouldn’t say that he is exceptionally more so than any of us are.
Very kool and a blessing. Thank you!
