  • 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.

I'm Scared.

I'm so scared of what's pulling at me right now... Satan is using my greatest weakness again. And that weakness, it's the fact that I'm so withdrawn that I can fool my own mind into believing things that aren't true. Satan knows that he can trick me into creating horrible scenarios that I literally believe are true. He's doing this now about the best gift God ever gave me other than my Savior. Satan is making me doubt myself, and making me think my girlfriend doesn't care about me. I know she does, but my mind is clouded, and I'm battling this. I think that there's one thing that can solve it...

See, she always told me she wouldn't tell me something if she knew it'd hurt me. So see, I don't know what she feels about me. I'm glad she cares enough to try her best not to hurt me, but I'd much rather know the truth about everything than spend another minute wondering what the truth is. I truly don't think I can stand another minute of wondering what she hasn't told me, what I've done that hurt her, what she feels about me, how she feels now about herself, etc. If she tells me, I can work to fix what I've done wrong, or listen to what she has to say, and work with her.

We need to back up, we've gone too far emotionally, I think. She brought this up, and though I was worried about it too (I knew we shouldn't have gotten so close), she had, unlike me, the courage to say something. I'm glad, too, because now we can back up to being together, but not together like husband and wife emotionally. I am very thankful that she had the courage to say something... I'm just worried she won't love who I am. I wasn't upset about her mentioning this, I was glad, actually, but I was upset because I realized when she meets me, she may be disappointed in who she sees (it's a long-distance relationship). This is why I cried for hours, this is why I was depressed for a while, this is what hurt me. I truly wanted to back up, and am very glad, but I realized that day that she will meet me and likely not love the person she meets, since I'm shy in person...

I guess all I want is honesty. I want us to be able to share what we feel, you know, when one of us is hurt by the other, I want to hear that hurt one say something. If she becomes more interested in another guy, then I want to know. I'd much rather be hurt then, than love her and love her, and suddenly one day, hear about this other guy and her, you know? I'm sure she wouldn't do something like that anyway, but still. It's just... when she says she is happy, is she really? When she says nothing's wrong, is nothing really wrong? If she says I was fun to talk to, was I? I'll never know, because she said she'd never tell me anything that would hurt me, or any truth that would hurt me... I just want honesty, because the pain of honesty is much less so than that pain of wonder...

Please pray God works in our relationship to bring us closer (If He so desires), yet to keep us far enough so that we have much saved for marriage, both mentally and physically. Please pray that we can both be honest with each other in everything, no matter how painful the truth is. How can two really be close if they can't even tell one another the truth? And yes, I'm also guilty of not telling her truths that would hurt her feelings. I just want this honesty, or else I'll continue to spend every day questioning what she really feels.

Also, please pray that I can explain to her I wasn't the least bit upset that she wanted to step back (Like I said, we needed to step back), but that I was upset because I figured the me she meets will be someone she won't love, you know? Please pray I can explain that I was depressed and upset over that, that I realized she might not love the person she meets, not in the least that I was upset over stepping back. I'm glad we slowed down, I am, but I want her to know that I'm glad. I think she thinks I was upset over our slowing down, and that isn't true.

Please pray we can share all the truths about one another with one another, that God works strongly in this relationship, that God can make me a person who will be good for her (I'm not worthy of this wonderful girl, I really am not. I feel so unworthy when I speak to her, because I know there must be a better guy for her.) And pray she understands what I'll try to explain about our slowing down, and that I was glad... please. I know God is all I need, and that's the truth, but I know she's a blessing sent from Him as well, and if I lose her, it's obviously because God found me unworthy of such an incredible blessing. I need to get closer to God to have a future with her. Please, please, I want God's will carried out, and part of His will is honesty. I can't truly feel good when I talk to her unless I know what she says is true (not that she'd lie, she's better than that, but she said she wouldn't tell me anything that she knew would hurt me). I can't enjoy her love unless I know we share everything. Also, please pray God can keep us at the point where we love one another, yet save much emotional and physical things for marriage. :prayer: :) I love this girl more than anything or anyone but God, and she is truly the best part of my life besides Him... so please... I want to be a person who can make her happy, I want to make her life incredible, please pray He makes me a person who can do that for her.

There's just no stronger desire in my heart than to do whatever will make her happy, and to bless her as much as she has blessed me. She deserves so much more than I can give, and I want to give all I can to make her happy... I'm just afraid I won't be able to... I'm so afraid I'm going to hurt her, disappoint her, etc...

Father please help this young man find his way,tht his love may be true.
I pray all these things in Jesus name, Amen
Walter

PS.
I really hate to say this but you should really meet a person before you invest to many feelings in that person, also I would be very carefull to not lay to much on her shoulders before you meet.
Its not being dishonest, its being smart in that your not scaring her away.
Just remember at 16 you should be having fun with your GF not getting so deep all the time, its VERY good to love someone but its also very dangerous to love someone you have not met.
Please know Im just saying this for your benifit, hope everything works out my friend.
Walter

Alot of times with our insecurities about what another person may think of us...we have to point the finger at our selves and ask God to graft out those insecurities so that we may not feel like we are always questining how someone feels about us, God is good and He loves us and wants us to be upstanding and strong people for Him, I pray that you get with God and pray and seek Him out about your situation, and Render your feelings through His word. You'll be in my prayers

Blessings

May the Lord be with you and guide you on your path; may He reveal his personal plan for you, and give you insight and discernment; may you have wisdom, and may His Spirit guide your words and actions; may you have peace and confidence through Him, and be lifted from fear; may you and your girlfriend feel His presence and guidance, His will be done.

Jesus, I ask you, on behalf of Antari, to lead him into the REALITY of Your power to mold him into the man You created him to be...to be, eventually, with the woman You have chosen to gift him with. I agree with

Jesuslovesthebears:
at 16 you should be having fun with your GF not getting so deep all the time, its VERY good to love someone but its also very dangerous to love someone you have not met.

Enjoy life. This is not a rehearsal. Let Jesus lead you into yourself as the most perfect tool and blessing you will ever know. You must love yourself before you can love another well.

http://bible.crosswalk.com/OnlineStudyBible/bible.cgi?word=first+loved+us&section=2&version=msg&new=1&oq=first+loved+us

I pray for your blessed growth into Jesus' image of you, Antari. Trust Him and let His love school you in loving...He IS the King!
