Shaking the Dust off my Sandals

If there was any consolation in staying behind to continue fighting and pleading, I would. Yet, every time I tried my best to show you your condition, you'd say I'm making you feel bad when I point out where we are going. I tried encouraging you, but you would only hear my criticism and ignore what I say when I thought you did a good job. To you, I am a thorn in your side. A necessary thorn, but sometimes a thorn can be tired of being a thorn when it can be a safety pin elsewhere.
My prayer for you is that you will continue to grow in love and discernment just as you grow in the knowledge of God's Word. Perhaps one day we will meet again and maybe then we could speak on the same wavelength. But for now, I'll have to take my leave.
There are people who need me more than you do, and are more willing to listen.
