• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

God's Love

I really needed to feel God's love today and I did. I was watching some videos of people who have overcome traumas and that have been saved by God. It made me feel that God loves me. I know that even though I am broken that God sees me and feels I am precious. Even though I have made mistakes I know Jesus loves me and cares for me. I was hurting today and I was inspired by watching videos of people who are burn victims and their strength and reliance on the Lord. Even though they have lost so much they are still beautiful. It made me feel I am still beautiful too.

:heart: God is precious. So is His ministering. (((hug)))

Reminds me of this verse:

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith Jehovah, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope in your latter end. 12 And ye shall call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. 13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. " ~Jeremiah 29:11-13

Hi all, I'm new.

Yes, God loves you, God is always present and is the complete expression of love. He is not a distant and angry God. May all become aware of the presence of God and move in him.
Thank you for these words :)

It made me feel I am still beautiful too.
Of course you're still beautiful! Remember, Luin, we are made in the image and likeness of God. God made plants, and declared them good; He made animals, and declared them good; He made us, and declared us "VERY good"! And you, Luin, the woman is the pinnacle of creation, the most beautiful of all of God's creations! He made light, then the sky, then the sea, then plants, animals, man, and woman. Upon first seeing Eve, Adam is instantly astounded by her beauty, "Bone of my bone! Flesh of my flesh!". Upon seeing Adam, Eve says, well, nothing. We men just aren't that impressive, compared to women.
Luin, God's beauty shines through you in all of your posts. It doesn't matter what happened to you, what really matters is how well you're handling it, the astounding amount of faith your putting in God, despite the evils done to you! God truly does care about you, and you're letting him love you--that's more than I could say a few years ago, without any trauma!
I'm so happy for you, for finding God's love whenever you need it most. I'm praying for you, that He may show His love to you always, through videos, through Caleb, through family, friends, strangers on the Internet that use a cat on a war horse as a profile picture; whatever His method may be, I guarentee you that He'll show His love when search for it (and even when you don't).
Luke 7:50
Stay beautiful, Luin.

Thank you so much for this post :) It made me smile :) Thank you for saying I am still beautiful. Thank you for reminding me that God created all of creation and that Adam was astounded by the beauty of Eve. Thank you for praying that God show his love to me always. You are a very kind soul and I am blessed by your posts. Thank you so much :)
