This a small good bye thread from me as I decided to withdraw from CF. (update: i still come as a visitor, feel free to DM me if you want)
I would say, I'm very glad that I found CF in the first place back in 2016 when I was spiritually breaking down and I have to say that a lot of the members in CF helped in my spiritual growth through the love they showed.
I'm withdrawing now as CF doesn't feel like home to me anymore. I don't feel comfortable here and I don't clearly see the CF of 2016 but I still see a lot of light in here. I will visit from time to time to check on the inbox though.
A small message from me to you all is: Never let anyone dictate or disrespect you. Never let anyone abuse you. And never let anyone shake your faith and commitment to God through their actions towards you. Even if the whole world turns against you. God won't. And hence, do the same to others!
Finally, defend the defenceless as much as you can. Never underestimate your potential, even if you are 1 against a million attacking one person. Your help to that one person will certainly make a difference for them. But remember to keep an open eye to all those that come across your way because not everyone is genuinely trustworthy even if they appear to be at first. Let time judge and accept God's clear signs.
Care primarily for those who invested in you and showed their love through their actions over time. Whether that's your parents, children, spouse, siblings or a friend of yours. Don't put them in the same boat as others. Give them more since that's what they did to you. Be forgiving and tolerant but not to the extent that might lead to your abuse. Once abuse steps in and once you are manipulated put a stop sign there. Give chances, but if you don't sense change then it is time to leave. For your wellbeing matters. Never forget the past, always remind yourself of the good others did to you, don't let one mistake of theirs or even a few change your heart towards them. Be fair.
Finally I would love to share my favourite verse: Romans 8:28
Peace to all.
