Nom De Guerre
Who amongst you doesn't see life as permanent?
I was just wandering around the forum and popped into this one... I've enjoyed a few posts about this situation and am concerned about "jj", did anyone ever get any responses as to what happened?
My apologies, jj, but it seems like the young lady is looking for empathy in her time of need... may the grace of God be upon you jj =) It can be a harsh reality sometimes, all the "rules" and "regulations" which are very hard to understand at times... I've been there myself...
When I first started to read the Bible on my own, I found so much conviction in the words and felt as though I was not good enough for our Father too... I wept, I wept long and hard... I continued to read the bible and continued to feel as though I was unworthy of it all... which, to me, turned out to be the best thing I had ever done... I don't, and haven't for years, belong to any church myself so it was all rather new for me; I would do bible-study with my dad growing up, but nothin' like what I was reading in this vast book of knowledge... it was being broken, being so broken in front of God and the world that gave me the opportunity to get to know God better; humility, you see... seems like such a hard way of life; especially since our hearts often want us to be cared for, centres of attention, and to be undeniably remembered...
Vanity, was the hardest part of finding my way... the losing of it that is, maybe you've been given gifts beyond our own reason(or at least most logic)!
It can seem like the whole world is crashing down on you at times for believing in Christ, and the worst of it can come from ourselves... I've been in some severe depression, lost and lonely... it was God who showed me the world though, and gave me purpose... just take some time to yourself and really ask our Father about it all...
Grace and peace be upon you. =)
