Hi Sandra,
Yeah the discovery of truth and the continual search for more is a tough road to travel at times - but rewarding nonetheless. I was one who felt the need to share the truth with all I met - especially as I learned truths that exposed the wickedness of the WT. I felt compelled to tell my brothers and sisters, 'this was good news' I thought.
Of course, I was DF'd for apostasy - me and my big mouth!! (No regrets mind you)
But recently, as I discover more 'truth' - I have become acutely aware of how much I haven't known all these years and, how much I don't know now. Really, who am I to 'teach' the 'truth' when I understand so little of it?
But, this whole time, Jehovah has known the truth, the whole truth - he has patiently waited and still is waiting for me and us to truely find him.
Ten years ago, when I was breaking my back to get to all the meetings and out in field service, he knew then that I didn't have to stress over such trivial things - but he didn't send an angel to tell me the truth of it, no, he has used things that I understand to teach me the truth about him - this way, I have learned by making my mind over, used my power of reason. This is how Jehovah teaches us.
Now I can look back over the years and recognize the moments in time when Jehovah was teaching me something - at the time I was oblivious, but the benefits reach into the years to come.
At one time I believed Jesus began ruling in 1914 - I believed wrong, but Jehovah still loved me and taught me and answered my prayers.
He is not slow respecting the promise, rather, patient - he wants ALL to find him.
