  • 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.

1 Samuel 30:4.

David’s distress caused him to CRY until he had no more power to cry!

Have you been there? I have, and it hurts real bad, it sucks big time, crying with a broken heart in utter distress and seeing God bless others and seemingly not me.

But look David in v6 after his grieving begins to think clear and “Encourages him self in the Lord” that’s what we need to do, take a deep breath look up and say “Lord you are with me I know”.

The word says “Although it delays (tarries) Wait for it” yes wait even at seeming delays, for God to change your life around, to bring joy and brightness into your life, that may be seems to be so sad now and so many down things get you. There is light there is hope. The Word says “Wait, rest in the Lord Wait patiently for it” and “You have need of patience that AFTER you have done God will you may receive the promise” You need to do Gods will first what ever that is for you, as I had to do once.

Do be strong they pain of our hearts is read by Gods Spirit, He groans with us, and will abundantly reward us.
:)

Great words once more, my friend :) I believe the hardest thing for us to do when we're single is to fully accept that we're not ready for being married yet and the waiting it involves before God's Plan comes into fruition in our lives. I've felt the pain of loneliness and emptiness etc. The only thing I could do was to persevere and trust in Him and God is gradually turning my life around :) There will come a time when I can inspire others through my transformation. What I wish for others is that they can put their lives in His hands and that let God work in their lives.

We shouldn't groan and complain when we have the Best Lord ever and that He will work through our pains and sorrows as well as being gentle and warm with us.
