Hi. I appreciate this part of the board being here.

I would like to talk to someone who is really close to the Lord. I would prefer it was a woman. I need to talk about my relationship with God. Could someone please help me? Someone who is very close to the Lord and walks the way they should.

Okay. I have some crazy things to talk about. Thank you for your time, you are very kind and appreciated. I pray God blesses you a lot for caring and listening.

I was mistreated a lot when I was younger. I never thought anyone loved me. When I started going to school I was full of shame and everyone hated me. My first grade teacher told me to look in the mirror and tell myself I was ugly. My third grade teacher told me I was stupid in front of the whole class. I was mistreated a lot. No one did anything about it. I acted up at elementary school, and I think what my teachers did encouraged me being that way. But I was mistreated and no one did anything about it. No one asked questions like, is she okay. Everyone always hated me. So it was very hard. I didn't know anyone who loved me at all. It was horrible. Then when I was 15, this guy took advantage of me. So I learned that I could get someone to pay attention to me by sleeping around. I didn't even know what I was doing, or what was happening to me, or what it was even called. I was like that until I got saved at 23. I stopped that, and drugs, and going to clubs. I started going to church. But right before I got saved (a few years), I got involved with someone who was really evil. Someone I thought cared. I found out it was the devil himself, and was only nice to me to get me to sell my soul and be evil. He said a lot of things to me, he said he cared, he seduced me into thinking he loved me. I listened to everything the enemy said to me, he said he cared about me a lot. I got saved when I was 23 though, and I found out in recent years that he had been persecuting me for getting saved. He did many different things to me all at once. I was persecuted the whole time I have been a Christian. At least 22 years now. It has been very difficult. I haven't ever really talked about it to anyone because I was full of shame about it and thought no one would understand or believe it. I have healed considerably and love people now, because of Jesus. I now have decided to be real about it and talk to others about it. I just want to be right with the Lord. Also, the enemy asked me to sell my soul in 2015. I said no, and ever since then, the persecution has been way worse. I think the enemy started persecuting me when I became Christian, and knew they were going to ask me to sell my soul in 2015 and persecuted me for a while also before they planned to ask me to do that, so they would perhaps have an easier time trying to get me to sell my soul. I have been abused so bad, and I have healed a lot, and I'm glad it happened because of Jesus. I just need to talk about it because it's a really crazy story and I need other Christians to care and I need to be right with God. I could say more, if it's okay with you. I realize that maybe it won't sound true, but that's okay, I need to talk about it and get free from it. If you are okay with me sharing more crazy things, I will, but you don't have to listen to more, if you don't want.

I'm really confused at what to think Jesus thinks of me, because there is so much sin involved. I was treated so bad it did serious harm to me, and made me messed up. So I don't know what Jesus thinks of that. I know that might sound strange. But I don't know what to think. That is a major part of what I wanted to tell others. I don't know how He feels about that, and it breaks my heart a lot to think of sinning against Him. I would think Jesus would be pleased if I didn't sin while being treated this way, at all, but that isn't what happened. I have healed a lot and love people a lot, but I don't know what Jesus thinks of me being in sin while being treated this way. I'm thinking that maybe since I was mistreated because I wouldn't turn my back on Him, that He graciously still stayed with me and helped me love others and repent of many other things. I really don't want to be a dissapointment to Him. I really would have liked to have done a much better job.

I have thought that I have had the Holy Spirit for a while, from when I was saved when I was 23. I have discernment to understand the Bible and I know the Lord, yes.
He will guild you to the peace you are seeking. Pray that He fill you with His peace so that all your insecurities disappear. Blessings.

I wanted to share a little more, just to get it out.

I have never had a conversation with my mother about my problems where she cared about my problems. Never has she said, "I love you, I can see that you are sad about something, please talk to me and I care and want to help." I have never had that from her. My Dad lies a lot, so when I try to have a conversation with him about anything, he lies, especially when I have a good point, he says word salad explanations a lot that don't make any sense, like he's not understanding what I'm saying, when he just says it to deflect and not acknowledge that I am making sense about something. I can't and have never been able to talk to them about anything. They don't care. They aren't interested in what I'm gifted at. My Mom doesn't ever care about my gifts. She suggests things too that I am not interested in. I write poetry and song lyrics and she never acknowledges that I'm good at it, and instead tells me to write short stories, as an insult to ignore my gifts like they don't matter.

Sometimes my Mom a lot has asked me how I'm doing or what I'm up to, and I open up my mouth to say something, and she immediately starts talking about something or someone else, a lot of the time, she talks about herself. I don't even get to reply, she just starts talking about something else. She doesn't give me the chance to say anything. It's like she does it on purpose to treat me wrong and let me know she really doesn't love me at all.

When I was younger, she didn't have any friends, so she used to make me talk to her for hours, as her friend, while I had no friends, or a normal life or the love of anyone really. My brother and sister got to go outside and play, I didn't, I had to listen to her talk about her problems, mostly how much she hated my Dad. Hours every day she did this. I was a child and didn't get to play games or have fun.

I'm gifted at singing, writing songs, poetry and art. I used to sing a lot when I was younger, until my Mom abused my singing and made fun of me until I stopped. I think I was about 13-14 when I stopped. I wanted to be in choir and she told me singing was for stupid people. I think she just said that though because she didn't like me singing. I'm gifted at music, art and poetry, and she is only gifted at music (she is very gifted and brilliant). But since I'm gifted at music and other things too, she hated that and so she made me stop singing. It was only recently that I started singing freely again. God helped me do that. My Mom has never supported it or actually acknowledged my abilities or ever encouraged them.

God is helping you to recognize your gifts again in the singing, so He will with your other gifts as you re-acquaint yourself with your talents. Moving forward with your journey with Him will give you the joy and peace that you are looking for. Looking back can't do that. Your authentic self results in doing from your gifts and not from the lies that you have somehow let yourself believe. As was said before the Holy Spirit will lead you into all these things. Trust that God loves you and will never forsake you and that's what really matters. Let the peace of Christ rule your heart.
