Sometimes I have to ask myself.

With current worldly situations going on now, everyone has to jump on other people for their beliefs and or opinions. Whats right or whats wrong. I get slammed for saying I just want to love and be loved. How can someone turn a simple statement into something so hateful. I am learning people love to argue over practically nothing. Anyway. I pray for peace throughout. ♡

Usually people who feel the need to demean others, are hurting inside themselves. Not that we should overlook their negative behaviors, but...it helps me not take it personally, and at least realize where it's coming from. If that makes sense. :sunflower:

Absolutely! Jesus saw the sin in people and hated it, but still loves the person. Best teacher ever!

Psalm 37:1 "A Psalm of David. Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity."

Also in agreement with @Deidre32 I just want to add that the enemy is always on the prowl, looking for souls to devour.
may you take care, @Maybug32

ONe of my favorite chapters in the bible, and it makes sense out of this world.. This world is indeed full of contention, disappointment and frustration. Without this scripture i would be walking around blinded by this world of vanity, not knowing where to go. I like my own little bubble as well, although i surely dont forget my sorrow. When im weak im strong. What would joy be without sorrow? Or Gods strength without our own weakness?


Romans 8:20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21 that[h] the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.

22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.

26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

I've lost all my friends (all of them were fanatic atheists) just because I have my opened mind, questioning myself about everything in this world and having my own opinions as well of course; for example I've lost one of these friends just because we were out together on mountainbike and we were thinking on how mountains were formed and why there are fish and shells fossils upon Everest, and my view was that a probable way was that the pangaea may have be cracked violently in couple of days entrapping those fishes and forming mountains.
Despite I didn't oppose my view to his view telling him "this is my own view but I don't close my eyes to other probabilities or explanations", after a couple of days he message me on Facebook insulting me in all the possible and colourful ways breaking my heart in pieces.
So we must be aware to who we give our pearls or honest and humble feelings or views, cause wolves have no pity. (Matthew 7:6) (Proverbs 23:9)

..I get slammed for saying I just want to love and be loved...
Good for you, you wouldn't be human otherwise!
Next time you look up at the night sky, remember that despite its awesome immensity the universe is just mindless cosmic debris without a heart or soul, and if we stop loving we become just like that.

I'm starting to not focus on the negativity. I will stay in my happy little bubble :)

I love this. God bless you, and I'm with you. I'm filled with a love for Jesus and that's enough for me. This world is the sharp edge of a razor, and there is much negativity. I find it best to focus my love on Him.
