Encouraging God's callers
If Jesus has called you out of this world and people cannot agree with you, do not revenge. Whatever you know where people cannot agree with you, never attempt to erase your knowing in front of them. If you be still to listen to the next plan of what God wants you to do but His answer for you is not firm or a little confusing, never attempt to patch it up by anything but just be silent. Just be yourself to know what Jesus wants you to do and let those who do not understand you do whatever they want to do. If God's answer for you is a little confusing, be patient until He gives you insight of His purpose for you. His purpose for you is not to answer the question "why" but He will lead you in faith to know His purpose more. It's just to know but still in faith. No matter how much a man cannot agree to die, the decision is still in God's hands to secure the man's death. Nobody should expect when he should die because all decision is in God's hands. For this reason, many are ashamed or afraid to know God's plans for them. So they let God do the job while they ignore His instructions. They have strayed their faith. But you are not to be the same like them. If you know how painful it is to ignore anything pure that is given to you, you should never ignore it.
There is one verse in the Bible saying, "Whatever is TRUE, whatever is NOBLE, whatever is RIGHT, whatever is PURE, whatever is LOVELY, whatever is ADMIRABLE, think about such things". God's ways are always strengthening a man's heart to admire and treasure anything in it.

A few days after I alerted my mother about her tiredness, she was still not convinced. She thought it was the devil who made her tired. And that made her continued to question me. She thought she had not been devoted to God enough and God might have punished her by bringing tiredness to her. For people who have the mind of Jesus should never have such a thought.
If you read the story of Job, you will know that Job's 3 friends replies sounded acceptable to unite any common interest whereas Job's replies sounded lesser to be acceptable to unite any common interest. Compare both conscience or consider plainly which of these two speaks like any common society speaks. However the replies that sounded acceptable to unite any common interest to the society are always making up assumptions about God. In Job 42:7, God told his 3 friends "I am angry with you and your two friends because you have not spoken of me what is right". However did God deal with these sort of people? In Job 42:8, He said to his 3 friends "I will accept his (Job's) prayer and not deal with you according to your folly". He only wanted to judge Job alone. He only cared about Job's life and didn't want to judge them. When they sacrificed the burnt offering, right or wrong, He did not want to deal with them. If God said, "I will not accept your offering", He would judge his 3 friends. But if He said, "I will not deal with you (anything) according to your folly", He did not want to judge them. So it was in His purpose also to set them apart to be foolish. Everyone is called by God from young. As you know God put His spirit in Job's friends also. But the difference between Job and his 3 friends is the human nature in both of them. If you ask, "Why God didn't take away the human nature in the boy when he was young?", nobody is able to answer you this. If that is what God desires for the boy, it's up to Him.
This is similarly like I do not have the human nature in me anymore but only the spirit of God whereas my mother is still bound with human nature in her and nobody knows why. If my mother or anybody cannot accept what I want to do, just as if anyone around you cannot accept what you want to do, just ignore them. Your life is your responsible. Did God be specific to Job's 3 friends saying, "My spirit was with Job to reply me like this....because..."? No. He did not tell them what Job had heard about Him (Job 42:5) which was true for Job alone.

As it is stated in the Bible, it is normal to see that people who are not in their human nature anymore but with the spirit of God must suffer NOT by human nature. A man who has no human nature in him MUST NEVER CHOOSE THE SUFFERING. His suffering is DESTINED by the Holy Spirit. Anything that contradicts this, is a lie.
A very good example to describe the type of suffering which never come from human nature and is ridiculously accepted by normal society is Apostle Paul's journey of faith with Christ. If anybody says Apostle Paul's life is not ridiculous because he understands God's purpose for him left and right but he cannot understand your suffering, you are still not at fault. If he is in the situation where Apostle Paul lived, will he know? Suppose he does not read the end of Paul's journey as to sum up God's big plans for him and he is just at the beginning of Paul's story, will he know? Apostle Paul's suffering should be ridiculous for him as a crowd living in the story.

These people who cannot accept you, even if we know they are in their human nature, the truth is, we can never understand them. If there are times what they do is acceptable for us to cooperate with them, we do not know why the things that they do can make us work on it also instead of nothing. How did the 3 friends of Job reconcile with him after a huge argument between both of them? For people who are in their human nature, if God puts His spirit in them, they have the right to decide to accept or not to accept. Sometimes they may or may not realize that what they do is right but God still grants their decision. But those who are not in their human nature anymore must never put themselves in the position of human nature like them. So we can never understand them but we can only tell them to find out by themselves.

What I mean is I have had the experience before where I was too tired to do things though I had plenty of energy to do others that was for my enjoyment. But now I'm becoming more and more focused on Christ and don't feel the lack of motivation to do things so much anymore. There were times I wished I had learnt all this when I was younger so I could have achieved more things for Christ than now. But I thank God for what he has done for me and how he helps me grow.

Now this is a true story. My mother did not understand what God wanted me to do. She thought with God, there is all strength for all kinds of work. For her, faith is defined as human's will. So one night after dinner I wanted to take her to a shopping mall. I needed to buy something and it did not take very long. I knew my mother would feel exhausted if we shopped for an hour in a huge mall. I told her it would be 10 minutes. I knew where to search for the thing and I could make it quick but she said she wanted to stay in the car. I did not ask her but I just be silent because I know that she felt tired. I just wanted her to enjoy walking a little but there was no willingness in her. She felt tired. Feeling compassionate I did not force her but I made it quick to buy my thing. By the time we got home, I noticed that she had the energy to do housework and once more she did not sleep very early. A few days later my mother still could not agree with what I want to do. So I asked her, "Why didn't you follow me into the mall? Didn't I say it will be a short while?". She replied, "I feel tired". And I told her, "But you did the housework and you slept later than me." After this she replied, "I also do not know why. I do not know why I am tired but I just know I am tired." From there I told here, "Don't you know that if I do what you want me to do, I will be tired for no reason?"
So it is clear that limitation from God should be felt either by normal or lesser to be normal people. If a simple matter can bing tiredness to all of us, meaning to say, by faith, we can do it because it is God's will.
