Hi~

I don't know the details of what happened to upset you, but I'm sorry you are hurting.

Did you know there is someone who's one wish is for you to know how much He loves you? If you look at the bottom of this page, a tab called 'Be A Christian' will tell you about Jesus, His love, and how you can get to know Him.

((hopeless))

It really makes me wonder about why people always act like God loves me if he never gives even the simple things that other people just happen to have every day...Oh well. I guess I'll never unerstand.
You are only 16. Be patient, and wait on the Lord; but first you must:

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33

I do not necessarily mean that the Lord has a spouse for you...It may be hard to understand, but the Lord became my husband when I was separated/divorced. He became everything I needed. Later, though, He did provide me with an earthly husband.

Do you want to have a relationship with Jesus?

ahh...but its much more complicated than that. I have no rebound guys and I'm not attracted at all to the type of guy I'll probably end up with...if I get a guy at alll. I hate life.
It is good you have no rebound guys.
Don't even worry about guys right now.
I am sorry that you hate life.
Emotions can be painful.
But, you have many years ahead of you.
Many things can and will happen in your life.
The best thing that can happen in your life is for you to give your life to the Lord and gain Christ.
His love is the Best Love because He is Love.
Why not try God?
Call upon His name.
His name is Jesus. :)
Tell Him how you feel about things.
Talk to God.
God is real and He loves you and He wants you to come to Him.
He is the God of all compassion and the God of all comfort.
Pray to Him. Try it. Talk out loud to the Lord. He is listening.
:prayer: I pray that you will turn to the Lord and find comfort, hope and faith in Him.:prayer:

There are more than 7 billion people alive right now on this planet, you've only met a severly small fraction of them during the fraction of you're life you've been alive for. I understand your lonliness because I feel that sometimes I may never meet the right person. However, faith in God brings faith into yourself. When you choose to follow and listen to his wisdom he will bring you happiness. If you're having trouble believing, there is a scripture somewhere thats states he will show you what you need to see to believe. It is for that reason I try to follow and listen to his wisdom. There is no doubt in my mind that he will bring me happiness. :)

I've talked to God before. But I usually just cuss him out for giving me such a terrible life haha. So he probably hates me...not that he didn't before but now he hates me more. Plus I dont like putting my trust in someone that already hates me. But thanks for trying to cheer me up.

i think your a little young for thoughts on marraige but, dont obsess over these things, youll find another love. im sure of it.

there are somethings that cant help but confuse and bewider you, because they arent real and they cast you into a match you cannot win, because so much of it isnt real.
for me...my only peace came from turning around and walking away from the things that only hurt me.

into a world i couldnt really be so sure of anymore, but im happier still, and now lifes an adventure, when before...it was just so pre-written.
thats a bad word, but do you understand?

^I kinda understand....actually no, I dont. sorry.

And I'm not too young to be thinking about marriage because according to the law I could get married if I wanted to be emancipated out of my house.

And the other problem I have is is if I give up on this relationship than its giving up on my dream. My dream was always to marry someone I met in highschool and now that can never happen. But I should have known dreams never come true.

God does not hate you, dear. He loves you. His love is not conditional.

John 3:16-17

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

If you don't mind me asking, what country are you in?

:hug: God does not hate you. God is love. If you feel bad for cussing Him out, then appologize to Him. He will forgive you. God can forgive and forget. We can forgive, but cannot really forget. But, the Bible tells us that God not only forgives our sins, He also forgets them.
:prayer: Talk to God. Open yourself to Him. You can trust Him more than anoyne in the world.

Sometimes our dreams and wishes are not what is best for us. A young child may dream of eating nothing but chocolate for the rest of his life. Would it be good for that dream to come true?

Remember that God is omnipotent, he knows what's best for us. The human mind will tell you what you want, and what we want isn't always the best. When a prayer goes unanswered it doesn't mean God has forgotten, forsaken you or despises you, but that he is doing what is best. You must have faith in him and give in to his will. Faith is a powerful thing, without it we are all lost. With faith and submiting to God's will you we find more happiness than you could ever find on your own.

Perhaps there isn't a single man in your school who can truely make you happy. Follow God's will and he will bring you to your soul mate.

And at 16 don't you still have two years left of high school? God's plan might be to bring you close to someone within the last years of your high schooling. :) :)

But God never answers my prayers so doesn't that mean he doens't love me?

it doesn't mean he doesn't love you. It either means the answer is "no," or the answer hasn't come yet. Sometimes we have to wait awhile to get answers to our prayers. Doesn't mean God isn't listening and doesn't have a plan for your life.

yeah I guess ya'll might be right. It's just so far I don't like God's plan at all.
:hug: Oftentimes, we don't like God's plan becaues we can't see where it is going. He knows the future and knows the ultimate outcome. Many times, we will later look back on a situation that seemed bad at the time and we see it's reason and we are grateful for it.

I asked God to take away my pride,
And God said "No".
He said it was not Him to take away,
But for me to give up.

I asked God to make my suffering child whole,
And God said "No".
He said her spirit is whole,
Her body is only temporary.

I asked God to grant me patience,
And God said "No".
He said that patience is a by-product of tribulation,
It isn't granted; it's earned.

I asked God to give me happiness,
And God said, "No".
He said He gives blessings,
Happiness is up to me.

I asked God to spare me pain.
And God said, "No".
He said suffering draws you apart from worldly cares,
And brings you closer to me.

I asked God to make my spirit grow,
And God said "No".
He said I must grow on my own,
But He will prune me to make me fruitful.

I asked God if He loved me,
And God said "Yes".
He gave me His only beloved son who died for me,
And I will be in heaven someday because I believe.

I asked God to help me love others,
As much as He loves me,
And God said:
"Ah, finally you have the idea."

---

So, you believe that God hates you? How presumptuous. You haven't even gotten to know who He is, yet you assume, because your own desires aren't satisfied, that He hates you.

Truth be known, I see this over and over and over again. You are not the only who who's enduring suffering. Don't seek to cast blame on God.

Have you taken the time to count your blessings? You're in good health. You have a roof over your head, a keyboard at your fingertips, a monitor in front of you, a running computer, people who care for your salvation and well-being, yet your life is bad? Why? Because you aren't able to marry at age 16?

You should tack that on your list of blessings. Marriage is a bind for life, and if you aren't even content with your life yet, you don't need to be considering marriage.

Did the nuns who vowed to live in poverty and service forsake God? No. It drew them closer to Him.

Did the man who left behind a life of riches to follow Jesus do so in vain? No. He found peace outside of earthly desires.

God doesn't hate you. How do I know? He is Almighty - our scornful words can't move Him to wrath. He is longsuffering and patient, willing that you would come to repentance and embrace Him.

Because when you seek Him first, all else falls into place.

"Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial
which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified."


"My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers
temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith
worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work,
that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing."


Be patient, be still, and know God. Seek Him rather than running from Him. You assume that because you aren't getting what isn't intended, you are hated. All I hear from that is a cry for help.

I know that you're hurting inside, but you are certainly not hopeless. Once you realize that the world will let you down again and again, and that it has nothing to offer you, I pray that you will turn to what Christ has to offer instead. I did.

Dust returns to dust, and all in this world is dust. Focus on that which is eternal - this is all just a glimpse; a determining factor which foretells our eternity.

I know where you're coming from when you say that you don't like God's plan right now. Even some of the greatest saints of history have felt that way a time or two, so don't let that factor discourage you.

Marriage isn't everything. Don't buy into what the media, or this world itself, sells you. The Bible is what has everything. We can't see the road we're on, but God can - if you would submit to His will, the burden becomes much lighter to carry.

About praying...

God knows our hearts, our desires, and our needs. We aren't consulting with some genie in a lamp, but with God. Our faiths wouldn't be strong if we had everything we asked for - instead, we believe in faith that God will provide us with what we need to get by.

Because regardless of your walk in Christ, there will come times of doubt, worry, and stress. Were that not true, we wouldn't have been given verses concerning such things, as the ones I provided above.

If there would have never been tears during our stay here, why would God have said that He will wipe the tears from our eyes? Why would He have spoken of trials and tribulations if they weren't going to be a problem?

They are, and they will continue to be... but there is one thing I came to realize through my own personal walk: The less interest we have in this world and what it has to offer, the more interest we have in God and what He has to offer. Amen.

My PM box is always open. Christ's Peace, and my prayers are with you.
