• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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 have been suffering a lot this year in trying to heal but I am grateful to be suffering for Jesus. He is a beautiful God to have. I have been trying my best to follow his path and be his child. I have been praying for my torturers who I realize I love. I realize I love my torturers and that is why I can not get them out of my heart. They had once been friends of mine and I still love them. The main people who tortured me where Silver, Josiah and Micah but there were others as well that helped. I pray for them everyday for their healing and health. I feel Jesus softening my heart even though my heart aches with sadness often. Jesus helps me know that I am healing Silver, Josiah and Micah. They will one day become healthy, loving, God fearing people. I am glad about that. I know Jesus will one day heal my heart, even if it is in heaven. I think about heaven a lot. I imagine myself wearing all white and walking through beautiful heavenly palaces and communing with Jesus and everyone else. I am looking forward to that day.

I will try my best to be careful :) Thank you so much for your care Dave :)

Ofcourse we must pray for those who wrong us. But God wants us also to
live victoriously. After a time of suffering, we must reach the resurrection realm.
We suffer with Him to resurrect with Him. He that live in you is stronger than He that live in the world. Ofcourse we must forgive our torturers. But that doesn't means we must be the looser. No, we are more than a conqueror through the cross of Jesus. He will restore unto you all that the torturers have done to you.
Your restoration will be: joy, peace, love and all that God wants to restore to you.
Why? Because His kingdom comes. Here on earth we must let the opposer know that God is able to do for us exceedingly abundantly more than we can ask him or even imagine. So it will be all well with your soul. Pray, rejoice and seek His Strength. Love you.

In summary, 1 Corinthians 15.57. :)
