I said in my last post that God does not love everyone, but
I don’t know whom He loves and whom He does not, so it is my duty to treat all
as if He does love them, for surely I do not want to treat badly the ones He

salvation that is found in Jesus. Jesus told a story about a farmer who sowed
good seed on his land but later discovered that someone had sown weeds amongst
the wheat. His servants wanted to pull
up the weeds but as the weeds looked almost identical to the wheat the farmer
told them to leave them till the harvest, when the weeds could be pulled up and
burnt and the wheat harvested. He told them to treat the weeds and wheat the
same until harvest. So for fear of
damaging the wheat (those whom God loves) we must treat all the plants the
same. So preach the Good News wherever
you can.The most unlikely people can be loved by God.

Talking with other people will often help lift your spirits, especially if they are people who have gone through this experience themselves. Maybe you need to join a self help group. Avoid people who tell...
