I've promised myself to not date until after high school, but I find myself wanting to break the promise. I ask God if this is the right promise and I get nothing from him. I was so close to breaking my promise and I didn't because the girl I wanted to date is a "player". Which made me even more mad because I wouldn't have felt love for this girl and God just helped me in the first place and told me not to pursue her. I asked him if I should date her, and I got nothing for him. I fell in love only to be crushed.
The thing is I know I'm angry with him, but I just can't show my anger because I know there is a reason he's doing this. I know I'm contradicting myself but I just need his help and I get nothing. I ask him to give me clear signs.
Silence is clear enough. It appears obvious she isn't your future but if she is - the time will be right when it is right.
Paitence. You're right. That's why I made the promise. I've been having in the back of my mind that relationships aren't for me. And hope I don't get into one. But things change in 10 years so I may have a different outlook.
Well, just relax - live life and dont worry one way or the other - you will discover where God calls you some day. No rush to get to it yet. Really, enjoy life now.
Sometimes God's answer to prayer is no, because he has a higher plan. It can be heartbreaking. I was having my teaching career destroyed by vicious gossip, and prayed with all my heart to God to protect me from my enemies. But my career was destroyed anyhow. (I'm currently in school to gain a certificate in a different line of work.) What helped me some is to tell God I was angry, and then admit that what I really felt was frustration and hurt, even abandonment. I used to read Psalm 13.
I see then you are very young ,but you know He is doing this for a reason.You en have some idea that it might be because you have the wrong attitude to girls .When we are not yet ready to take responsibility for someone elses happiness we tend to go for someone who seems to be worldy and whose heart we cannot break .This is of course an illusion as girls who are players are already hurt and angry ,but they will not show it .You did not love ,you 'fell in love' with an illusion ,a projection .You are not ready to love someone ;pray to be made ready ,be patient, and God will in time put someone in your path in time .
Job says no such thing. At the end of the story, God rewards Job for having remained blameless throughout his trial.
I will always of course pray to be ready. Though, I not sure if I want to be ready, but time will only tell.I see then you are very young ,but you know He is doing this for a reason.You en have some idea that it might be because you have the wrong attitude to girls .When we are not yet ready to take responsibility for someone elses happiness we tend to go for someone who seems to be worldy and whose heart we cannot break .This is of course an illusion as girls who are players are already hurt and angry ,but they will not show it .You did not love ,you 'fell in love' with an illusion ,a projection .You are not ready to love someone ;pray to be made ready ,be patient, and God will in time put someone in your path in time .
When we 'fall in love' it is a rather narcisistic thing .We want someone to think how wondeful we are
Your picture of Jesus offends me as it it look like a Hollywood ,gay pin.I don't care who painted it ,it is offensive . The 'why' you chose it needs to be considered ,for it givs away some of your inner self ,vanity ,perhaps ?
I think it's supposed to be a picture of Jesus sitting there. The problem is that this Jesus is a body builder, a little too nice for someone who was only a carpenter, with all his pecs and six pack there for us women to gawk at. This is why it is troublesome for some of us.
