Some people are more emotional about stuff then others... if you arent there yet, or even dont want to be there dont beat yourself up over it! We are all in a relationahip with God! But in any relationship you are still yourself right! just because you dont experience God the way someone else does doesnt mean anything :) Blessings!

wow, i just want to say that you make me smile. :wave:
you have a young beautiful heart after the Lord, praise God.

and like one person already said.
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU! and dont let no devil or negative person tell you there is. it takes time, and you have to grow and learn.

your young, youy knew to some of it, your just beginning, and you have along way to to go, but God will carry you through those years, becuase you really do have years and years left to go in the Lord, and they will so happy for you.
But God has just began to work on you, the process is started.
and like the bible says
"despise not, the day of small beginnings"
do not look down on yourself or lose hope, just becuase you dont understand everything yet, or becuase you cant seem to do everything you want to do for God, or you seem small in your own eyes.
God has begun a work in you, but you have to stay with it and see it through.
give it time.
and i promise you a year from now, or maybe even just a month from now, youll look back on today and say "wow...now i know what i didnt know then...and im so glad i did not give up"

but be encouraged, you will grow up in the Lord faster than you think you will, if youll commit to just sit down in a quiet place and talk with God about everything that bothers you, everyday.
and make sure you open your bible and read something everyday.
if you dont get alot out of the bible, thats ok.
you may need to read the psalms or whatever, and find one verse or scripture that you love and that fills with joy or passion.
find one verse that speaks to you, and write it down and think about it all day, for days and weeks, untill you feel you can move on to another scripture that does even more for you.

if i were you id do 3 simple things.
1. stay in church, and your youth group, and make a point to go find people that you look up to and trust that can help you be who your called to be. ask them for help.
2.make it a habit, that you find a place and a time to pray and talk to God everyday.
3.make it a habit, that you find a place and a time to read your bible everyday.

those things will do wonders, you may not even realise it till much later, but they are doing more than you know.
God bless you, we love you.


Lee.

i dont know if i have accepted Christ. like i know i believe in everything but i guess i just dont really know how. ive gone to church a lot and ive gone to all these things but it just doesnt seem like i get anything out of it.
Honestly, to me its sounds like you have asked our Lord for forgiveness and He seems to be working with you right now.
Your desire makes that evident.

Listen, dont get caught up in emotionalism.
Meaning dont think cause you dont ''feel' something that you arent saved.

One thing I always look for is a sincere heart and a sincere desire.
That is all you need.
And judging from your posts, you seem to have genuine desire.

Pray for forgiveness of your sins and then try to read the Gospel of John.
Just a chapter a day.
Get yourself a NKJV bible so it will be easy to understand.

Bible study doesnt come easy at first, but as time goes on, you will find yourself falling in love with Gods word.

Dont try to get it all in one night.
Just take it a day at a time.
If you Believe Jesus died for your sins and you prayed and asked Him to forgive you of them, YOU ARE BORN AGAIN:clap:


Just talk to Him and tell HIm how you feel
He IS listening and He will help you.

Sooner or later the dams gonna break and you will be on your knees crying like a blubbering fool :)

But until then have patience and know that you are His child.

I really would just start easy and read the Gospel of John.


Bless you sister :)
