It can't and will never change

[paul123]

There are facts about me that are unchangeable. Physical attributes that will never go away. It will never matter what kind of person I am, that fact remains that I cannot get close to people. And generally when I let people in they tend to make some distance between me and them. There is nothing I can do about it. These physical attributes keep me from having a normal life.

I met a really nice girl. I am dreading the day when I have to let her in on my secrets. She will be just like the rest.

The closer I get to people the further away they will eventually be. I can't change it. I am powerless.

Exactly what is troubling you, what physical attributes are you talking about?

Dude....that's why we need Christ. Once you're resigned yourself to be unchangable, you've just set yourself in stone. You've put the clay into the oven and turned up the heat to make it unbreakable, unable to be turned soft again. We may let the clay dry often, but it can be made wet and soft again with some water...but once you stick the clay in the oven and bake it...you're unchangable, and that's exactly what you're doing now. You are changable even to the ends of time. God can change even physical attributes. If he can make blind men see, men who were lame from the moment of their birth walk, women who have never been able to have a child have a child, and RAISE THE DEAD (an attribute that is completely unchangable from human standards)....then he can change any attribute you have.

It might not be as easy as "Lazarus arise!" and it might take time, effort, and possible mistakes and rough times...but people...even 90 year olds, can change...we aren't done changing until we are completely dead (and are assured to not be raised again).

You are 23....are you a vampire? Are you driving people away because you will eventually eat them? I'm pretty certain that's not the case...and believing such....i think that whatever the case might be....you can get therapy, prayer and holy oil annointing, medication, medical advice...anything...there are ways to change, you simply must seek and find. You are not alone and whatever issue you might be dealing with, I can say that there is definitely someone else ( if not many others ) who are dealing with the same thing.

God can chance anything. And if you aren't a fan of Him, then look at it this way, anything is possible.

You guys are right. I am changeable. I am trying to change everyday. But it is my physical charactoristics that are my problem I guess.
But you did cause me to think. Thank you.
