• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

:wave: Cadworm

This is really such a good place that the Lord has bought me to. CF is a real blessing and source of comfort and prayer both for me to receive and give to others.

Yes, cadworm, me and debiwebi, and others, have known pain but in the midst of all that pain I know now that God still has, and always has had, a wonderful purpose for my life. Which includes my full healing and freedom and for which He will use me to help bring others to Him. To know the love they didn't know and for healing, to be the person God intended them to be.

So as Christians our stories may not be the same, of how we came to Christ, but we have the same message. One of forgiveness and hope.

You may not understand naturally, but you don't need to, to feel the wonderful compassion you expressed in your tears. That was the love of God inside of you and really touched my heart so much.Thankyou. :)

God is going to use that love to draw others to him through you. And for you to be instrumental in their healing and growth in Jesus. You don't have to go through pain to show love.Every experience God can use.

Thankyou that you are faithful to the One who is faithful. I have come across those who have sadly forsaken their faith and fellowship with Jesus & it has been hard to be with them. For they have known the truth but chosen to forsake it - now to me, that's more painful than all the abuse I ever went through.
For they have given up on the only Hope there is - that to me is tragic. Abuse yes, is traumatic but no Hope is worse still.

I've felt hopeless and thought there was no Hope, until Jesus reached down to me & showed me His love and His tender heart. From that day, though at times I could have been closer to Him, I know He never left my side. I've had recent struggles as from my first post here - but with love and prayer - I've been reminded of the Hope I have in Jesus. That makes all the difference. :)

His gentle heart touch your life and change it forever into something beautiful. For indeed in Him you are and every thing you do and say can be a reflection of Him and His love. Just like when you shed those precious tears. Nothing unmanly about that at all. Just the opposite. I'm proud to have you as a Brother in Christ.

Thankyou for being a blessing,
Gentle-Heart
