Hello everyone,
I am a Turkish student born and raised as Muslim, but converted to Christianity and found true peace in Jesus' name four years ago. I am trying to adhere to religious performings of my lifestyle as much as I can in such an area.
I have recently been going through some personal matters that are disturbing my daily peace and wanted to talk to you and get some directions if possible. As all human beings, I felt some sincere feelings to a person of the opposite gender a few months ago. While she apparently felt the same way for me, she said she loved someone else when we talked about this thing and said she can't do with me. "We can't be friends from now on," she said. We concluded the issue and closed the book there.
Some days after this incident, however, she contacted me again and wanted to open the conversation again, which I sensed that she regretted her previous action. I responded that we can't talk again as she said, and while she tried no further, this incident opened the wound in me that was about to be closed. Since that day, around for two weeks, I can't really forget and stop thinking about her. If she didn't do that I would be fine, but now I am quite disrupted. I can't reestablish my inner peace since that time. I am praying real hard to Jesus, but I am suffering.
I know this issue sounds quite childish and teenish, but I am a 24-year-old translator and I have rarely felt the way I do now in my entire life. I had no other option but to consult to someone that can understand me.
I really want to return to inner peace and would like to know how I can do this.
What should I do ? I really need some help.
Thank you very much, and God be with you.
