Oh Lord, Open The Hearts of Stone, Heaven Needs Their Company of My Friend, My Father, and a Good Soldier

Heaven Needs Him to make itself sustain in Good Company and We should All be so lucky as to have these Three Men: My Lawyer Friend, My Father, And a Good Soldier with Us in the Graceful City of God.

Oh Lord, Open The Hearts of Stone, Heaven Needs Their Company of My Friend, My Father, and a Good Soldier

There is all so much bitterness surrounding those saved. The People Who look upon them with Hardened Hearts are bitter that One Person is seemingly elevated above the others.

The mistake of Calvinists is to Say Abruptly: “Hellfire Awaits the Unrepentant and They Deserve Hell.”

To Me it seems Impudent even if it may be correct. I do believe that there awaits torment in this life and the next. But I am not so disposed to then Call on the unbelievers to repent [though repent They should] and decry them as the chaff.

Chaff is for the Lord to Decide, Not for Me to pronounce.

The chaff awaits the very moment of judgement By God, not By Me, not By My feeble wicked heart.

There is a rush amongst well meaning Christians to denounce, condemn and judge. It’s not that they do not love. It’s that they are afraid for the Other’s souls sake and have an unconscious response almost a knee-jerk reaction. “They don’t believe, they’re in Big trouble.”

Never mind that in a moment God could break the unbelievers heart of stone and save them in an instant for all eternity.

I have Two Friends, and When I get the courage to say this something to Them it will be a good day.

One is a brilliant Man starting out in the first few years of His Legal career. We went through Our undergrad together and in Our first year shared 3.0 full courses with one another. But there is a cataclysmic issue arising from His Health. His is 5’8 feet tall and weighs likely well over three hundred pounds. And He now cannot stand up on account of His ankles being weakened and giving Out. He is bed ridden and does not know if He will be hired back at His firm which so much of His schooling and years of work and preparation seemingly demand of Him.

He happens to Be an Unbeliever. And though Our Politics align on a great many verticals, this You see makes No partial difference. He does not Know Christ as Lord.

I pray for Him to recover, I pray For God to Heal Him and give Him long life. I pray finally that He will find the love of Christ. But I’ve never told Him what I pray for, only that I do pray.

What I need to say to Him is that “Yes Sir, in all loving kindness, Heaven Needs You, Heaven aches for Your Presence, love and company.”

If only My words did not fail the cause and this line struck Home, I would be relieved, yet until the moment God decides no such thing can happen.

This is Why I do not share common mind with many reformed calvinist Christians. Calvin is right on a great deal—but Calvinism is austere and takes judgment upon itself.

Has John MacArthur in all His brilliance and erudition thought to include this in His Biblical commentary or preaching.

Yes They are unbelievers, Yes They have hearts of stone, They are blind and walk in darkness.

But Be not Proud and be only concerned that They are not yet saved and that in a word God Could open Their Hearts and bring Them Wholly into their Kingdom.

I only have a Good and Wide Open Heart that God has Given Me, I cannot condemn anyone, its not in Me; not the Power nor the inclination/desire.

I get angry at My Father for Not believing and there isn’t a phrase I can conceive which I haven’t tried—except maybe this One, Except Maybe Now—Maybe it will dawn on Him before the End: “Heaven Needs You, God Wants You, Please be swayed By His Love.”

Lastly, I have a Dear Friend Who is ex Military, who fought in Afghanistan. He is Now in Ukraine as a volunteer.

I am so utterly opposed to this War on the side of the West getting involved, that is, I cannot consciously sanction any Canadian Or American person getting involved and fighting or dying in Ukraine. I believe that the War is started By the West by the War-Hawks amidst Our Governments and the Global Elite at large.

Yet I recognize that He must feel an overwhelming pull to fight on behalf of a People and a Cause that He sees is Utmost Deserving and Moral.

He has had trouble readjusting to civilian life being a veteran Who has seen terrifying things in War.

He has been depressed and suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

My Heart Bleeds for Him and I want to say to Him to come Home and not be killed on a far off battlefield.

Yet the Thing I know is most needful and deserving to be Said—With My Feelings aside. The Thing that is in God’s Will which seems evident to Me is that I must say to Him, again: “Heaven Needs You.”

Not the World, Not Me, Not even Your Countrymen per se. But God and Heaven Beckon and Call You Home—the thrust of the Gospel I pray reaches His Heart.

Heaven Needs Him to make itself sustain in Good Company and We should All be so lucky as to have these Three Men: My Lawyer Friend, My Father, And a Good Soldier with Us in the Graceful City of God.

Hold Us God, Lead Us, and in Long-suffering Keep Us. Love is the Force of the Universe.
