No. I'm saying your relationship with God has something wrong with it now and if you sort it out and make him your Heavenly Father things should get better, although it can take time.

Anyway, read my first long post, it was meant for you and you alone, God Almighty showed me everything to write, as per usual. God Gives me the words and I write them. It's how he uses my talent.
Speaking of talents, what's your favorite thing to do? I like Reading, Writing, Running, never away only towards my Goal, Listening to Christian music, and other stuff.

Speaking of Christian Music, What do you think about Hollyn? Or Toby Mac, I have a lot of CDs with only Christian Music, and I put it on my phone and it totals to Just over nine hundred songs, I kid you not, nine hundred.

Actually I was thinking, after we take care of all of this stuff, we could be friends, that is if you stay a Christian, I can't fellowship with anyone but Christians, HOWEVER, if you choose to stay with God, well let's just say God sent me here for a reason. I'll be your friend, a good Christian friend. I think that's what we all need right now. Someone close, who follows after God Almighty, and if things go well, WELL, I get to say what I've been wanting to say from the very first post that you posted, "Welcome Home Sister."

What do you say, will you be my friend? If so just remember, I'm only a man, don't put your trust in me, put your trust in the Lord our God Almighty. If you can't right off the bat, that's okay, just trust the Jesus who lives in me. The Jesus who LOVES you, and wants to answer your prayers through me and others.

I'll ask again because I really want you to say yes, will you be my friend?

Well, I misspoke it wasn't nine hundred, I just checked and it's actually Four Hundred and Ninety Two. Sorry about that, I don't know where nine hundred came from.

My friend snapping did it for me. Its like God never wants to see me happy, I've been lonely all my life...I'm just like if you can't find it in your heart to give me a friend to keep me company ...could you yourself at least talk to me.

I've asked for years to hear God speak to me or feel his presence...something! And I got nothing...

Nothing. I asked , I tried..and still nothing.

I try to do the right thing, with my aunt at her church...but I just got treated badly for it... Even when we moved out of the hotels my mom got in a freaking car accident...

And my only friend who I loved so much descended into madness, 3 years...gone just like that. ( Why let my friend descend into madness? Why couldn't he be blessed with a sound mind like alot of people? Why? I tried to make friends with a girl at work and she hasn't t3xted back,...so its like I can't have anything )

Why does God just pick on some people?

Why is God so jealous he can't stand to see me genuinely happy..with or without him... I tried to get close but he does nothing...so its like I can't have anything... Not HIM, not friends, not a job...nothing...

What's the point? And I hear about my other f4lends and how well they're doing ..one is going to make 1000 a week.. And she's younger than me... ..

And I'm just like am I just here as Gods special punching bag? When he gets mad...its time to mess with me?

I'm over it....

I don't think I can love a god like this.
I'm so close to telling God go f**** yourself.,.

Bc I never did anything to Him except try to be close and I won't try anymore...I'm not ...I'm done.

I mean what's the point so I can reach out and God can be silent some more? I think I've learned my lesson.

Life sucks. And most things religious people say about God is BS.

You have more power than you ever thought you did. Unleash it. You're a Ferrari rusting in a garage thinking it's a horse carriage, perpetually waiting for a horse.

GOD does exist. He didn't create you for this religious nonsense though.

i just found something tonight that is such a precious blessing. It's on Youtube of Bill Pearce who had a night time program called "Nightsounds". On it he would speak, pray, quote comforting Bible verses, and minister to the listeners.

I pray it blesses you as well, dear heart. Praying for you (((hug)))

I think this is good advice. When you aren't looking for God. He still looks for you. And sometimes I think it's easier for Him to find you that way.

God, as presented to us in the Bible, describes himself as life, and truth and love, and the gate to paradise.
Are you done with truth?
Are you done with love?
With hope?
With life?
What does it exactly mean that you are done with God?
If you mean you are done with believing in the Santa Claus God who fills your stocking with all sorts of yummies and delights, I can't say as I blame you.

First, God's people and even unbelievers suffer in this life. It is what you choose to focus on that determines your happiness or sorrow. If you focus on how you tried everything, and you are not seeing any change in your life: Well, obviously you have not tried everything because there are other people who have went through your challenge (and even worse ones and have overcome them). Second, sin is what separates us from GOD. If one is feeling nothing from God, then it is a good chance that they need to repent and restore that relationship properly. Most will tell folks that they can sin and still be saved. But it doesn't work like that. David desired to have the JOY of His salvation back. If a person desires to have joy in their life from GOD, they have to truly repent like David did in Psalms 51. Three, a person has to be willing to surrender EVERYTHING to GOD. A person has to be broken in tears on their knees before GOD and ask the LORD to seek His will and not their own will. Life is not about what we want. If one shows humility before GOD and they seek to please GOD and expect nothing in return, they will find GOD will show them the power of His presence and His love and His wisdom, knowledge, and power. Seek the Lord with all the heart. Seek and do not stop. Stay in prayer all day. Read His Word. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. But do not do it man's way. A church is not always the best way sometimes. All you need to do to get close to GOD is to talk to Him and read your Bible. Do this now! Do not delay! For what is the alternative? To not have God's love? There are people that do have God's peace and love and comfort. If they have that, then you can, too. You need to stop focusing on yourself and you need to start looking upon focusing upon loving GOD and loving others. For when you focus on yourself, then you make life all about yourself. Focus on pleasing GOD and on others. Do not expect anything in return. Just make it a way of your life and in time, you will see a change. But you have to do so by faith. God is not about meeting all of our needs. We have to be willing to meet God's needs first. Like focus on being righteous and holy. God desires this from us. Be ye perfect as the Heavenly Father is perfect. You do that, and GOD will start to move in your life that will amaze you. But do not expect a timeline for GOD to act. Just wait upon the Lord. Live your life by faith and just know GOD has a plan (that you cannot see - whether things be bad or good).

Anyways, sometimes we need to get back to the basics.
Here is a tract that might help.

You Have A Date.

The Book of James tells us our life is but a vapor.
It's gone in a moment,from the time we first took a step to watching our grand kids play is a blink.
Short as it may be,God has purposed our lives for His ways.
His ways are not our ways,He never fails us and all His promises are yes and Amen.
We do not command God as a genie when we come to salvation.
He give us all a purpose, and in this world evil abounds.
Know this place is temporal but our Home is eternal.

If anyone thinks God is not fair ,let them live with Satan for a hundred years then answer the question again

2 Corinthians: 4. 8. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9. Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10. Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11. For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12. So then death worketh in us, but life in you. 13. We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; 14. Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. 15. For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. 16. For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 17. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18. While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

If we are not close to GOD: Well, it's about first recognizing how WE have sinned against GOD and how WE need to get OUR HEART right with the LORD. GOD is not going to just make our life better because we are doing things that we believe are religious. WE have to APOLOGIZE or REPENT of our sins first and recognize that doing things our way was not working. We have to by faith SURRENDER everything to GOD because we messed up. WE are the problem and not GOD. WE are not GOD to dictate terms to GOD. WE are the ones who messed up originally (even back at the Garden of Eden). We will either bow our knee now before the LORD Jesus who died for our sins or will will bow before Him in the future. The choice is ours. But GOD so LOVED the world (YOU) that He gave His only begotten Son (JESUS) so that you can have a new and transformed life in Him. But you have to do it GOD's way according to the Bible. Not by your local church's way. Not by what your neighbor says. We have to get alone with GOD and spend time with Him and strive to please Him and expect nothing in return. We have to love others and stop looking at ourselves. We have to repent. Truly repent and get our hearts right with the LORD. That is where it begins. So we can have a good and upright walk with the LORD our GOD (Who loves us so very much).

I don't see it that way Far Side.

What I see in that verse is that our world is evil. If for doing what is good, you reap evil, then our world must be very evil.

Therefore, don't heap that blame on yourself. Our world, especially those who run our world are the most accountable to the world's woes and evil.

Look at this way for example, you find the workplace extremely challenging....Is it really 100% your fault for not able to cope or is it the unending greed of the system you work for?

One of very simple things we are taught as Christians is that everything has a reason. If you need Faith, be obedient to God, once you are obedient to him Faith and Belief Comes naturally. Also, why does no one read the posts that God gives me to write? God wants you to know it! It may be long but God wants you to read it. W2L, You know what I'm talking about right?

I noticed how good yr posts are and how in line with what I feel the Godly response is. They are great... However, please ensure that its for the right reason you want them acknowledged. Hehe. To illuminate God not your own gifts He has obviously given to you. (I find this 'like' system is something which is an enemy to myself. I keep checking the positive ratings I have.)

I look forward to reading more of them in future, they are a joy to read.

I don't see why it can't be public and open to verification and protection.

You sound very needy and superficial. God doesn't owe you anything. God brings pain and trials to shape you, and he was gracious enough to promise hope for the world after. If you reject God, you aren't rejecting only God, you're rejecting your soul. But even still he's faithful and just to forgive you for turning your back on the pledge of faithfulness you presumably gave him.

Be born-again(saved)...that is key, how we are able to get close to God.

The Word is the main way God speaks to believers.

Blessed are we when we endure persecution, when we are poor
in spirit, when we hunger and thirst for righteousness....Matthew 5:3-12.

So what if someone lukewarm makes a thousand dollars a week or per hour...it won't buy their way into the Kingdom of God.
