How can a true beliver walk from truth

[Sister Alvear]

People leave for many reasons...I have seen missionaries walk away because they were treated like second class citizens by pastors that just a portion of their tithe would have solved the missionary´s problem..
I have seen people become bitter that the pastor´s family was treated on a different level than the rest of the church...
I have seen people leave over just about anything and everything you can imagine...

Hurt, bitterness, deception play a big part in people leaving.

At sometime or many times we all could have turned back...and given a reason for turning back... a justified reason? well, that might be different...but...at least a reason.

Many years ago I walked in a place and caught a man and woman in bed togeter and no they were not husband and wife...He was a so called famous preacher...

I was deeply hurt and still remember wanting to die! I even prayed that I would have a car wreck and die...but as I drove around the Lord spoke to me and said these words, " Have I ever failed you, my child?"
I pulled the car over and weeping told Him, "No, my lovely Lord you have never failed..."

Always look to me and not to man, I heard him saying to me...I dried my tears...

That happened before I was married so it was many, many years ago...and through all the ups and downs of life, through all the hurts I have always remembered not to change because of hurts...if I change it will be because of God´s word...with that in mind we must work out our salvation with fear and trembling.
