Dear Sister,
This is sad news that you impart here. Yet, knowing that this is not the first time it has happened to you, and sadly may not be the last. Considering the love of those who profess that they are Christians and are not, is not something that brings me joy. It's easy for them as you well know to help their own, families, close friends, but when it requires something more then a few dollars, conversation, or even prayer. They are surely lacking, and not to be found. But know the Lord will have His will done even if it requires an unbeliever to have it fulfilled.
I still hold close to my heart what you communicated to me years ago about the church you were going to who professed to be a Sister in Christ. But upon telling her that you were cold and homeless, there was nothing there for you. Not even a coat! Had you been family surely they would have provided, but now instead of the empty word usage of Sister, you became a stranger and no help offered.
There are ever darkening times ahead for the Body of Christ. Our Lord's words are not hollow in that we too will suffer persecution, and tribulation (John 15). Many have not experienced it in the West, but it will come. This along with deceptive teachings tell me that the falling away (2 Timothy 2:3) will continue to happen. Yet, also hold close that this signifies that the Day of the Lord is drawing closer, that if we have not yet been called to Him (death), we will in great joy be received by Him still. Also, realize that it had to happen this way, that those who are of the World may through you get to know the Love of the Lord, and not through those who professing it, all the while did nothing and would be unable to share what they do not have to the lost. Which is His Great Love for them.
May God continue to guide and bless you dear sister. May you be comforted, and showered to overflowing with the Holy Spirit.
With the Love of Christ Jesus, in His name I pray. Amen.
YBIC
Nick
