[QUOTE="Strong in Him, post: 69050344, member: 103116"] He was there, with you, right in the middle of it. God does not sit on a cloud, untouched, and indifferent to, our suffering. He came to earth, in Jesus, to live as one of us. God knows, from personal experience, what it is like to suffer hurt, rejection, loneliness, disappointment, frustration, betrayal by a close friend, mocking, torture, physical pain and degrading death. Jesus also took all the weight of sin upon himself and felt abandoned by his Father, on the cross. And he did all this willingly, so that we could be reconciled to God, know that he is our Father and we are his children, and that we can go to him and ask for his help. I don't know what happened when you were 11; maybe you asked for help, were expecting to feel something and didn't. Maybe God answered in a way you didn't expect and you didn't recognise it. All I know is that he hasn't given up on YOU - even if you have with him; that there are people who can listen to, pray with and counsel you to help remove those hurts and that God is wanting you to know his love, joy and peace.
