help, should I give up ??

[Truehearts]

hi forChrist,
im jhen... you know its funny that i can totally relate with your situation,... why? because i had just been through what u are goin now... (if u saw my post last week "im so tired" also here at the counseling forum)...
you know i have yearned for plenty of good advices, especially what i want to hear... and i did get them. But not one of them will help me if i dont volunteer to help myself... I was stubborn on feeding my sinful nature and the more i wanted to get out of it the more i was buried in it. God is there, He is always near... but i was the one that moved. I tried so hard to survive on my own, long enough that for me to realize how stubborn i become on rejecting Him. But then over and over, He kept reaching out... He never lets me go... One very close friend reminded me that the easiest way to get out of sadness relies on how quick you DECIDE to get out of it.
1Corinthians10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

i know how u feel...Don't wait for a dramatic moment to reconcile with God... one at a time will do...
if you feel that you're a 100 steps away from God take 1 step and He will take the 99 to be closer to you..

Start by reading the Bible and talking to Him... daily not dramatic... it will work.
Go on He's waiting. =)

Help, Should I Give Up?

I also feel like when I do thing wrong (ie sin) I feel like that I'm hated by everyone, even God and jesus hates me (ok I know Jesus loves me, but this is just how I feel at the mo )

Its good that you listen to praise music at such times, but, along with that, you need to get steeped in the New Testament, especially the Gospel of John because it focuses on the teachings of Jesus more than the others. Read from John every day for, say, thirty days. Let the words soak in so that you grasp their meaning.

"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. Whoever believes in him is not condemned..." (John 3:16-18a).

Dear For Christ

The Lord loves you sister so very much. The devil will try to discourage you but He is a defeated enemy. The Lord's promises are eternal.

Yea I have loved you with an everlasting love Jer 31.3

You are very special to Him

For He that touches you touches the apple of His eye Zech 2:8

I agree with what SpiritLedEd has said about reading from John and letting the words soak in.

Trust in all those marvellous promises found in His word.

God is love 1 John 4:8

For He is faithful that promised Heb 10:23

Spurgeon said

Oh man , I beseech you do not treat God's promises as if they were curiosities for a museum, but use them as everyday sources of comfort. Trust the Lord whenever your time of need comes on.

I will pray that His tender love fills your heart and chases away all these doubts and difficulties

God bless you

NEVER give up - Love is patient, love is kind, it always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres, Love never fails. 1 Cor 13:4,7-8

I thank God that my salvation is not based on my feelings but on the work His Son has completed. Jesus Christ has done it all and all we have to do is believe Him.

Hi for Christ, What you have decided to call yourself on this site, is the answer to your post. Christ is the Word spoken of in John1:1 In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word 'was God'. The Word is Jesus, he also calls himself the 'bread of life' and invites us to feed on him. If we feed on the bread of life, we also are feeding on the Word. You say you need advice. Well my advice, is that you feed on the Word ( read your bible as often as you can ), you don't have to study it, just feed on it and after not too long, you'll find the answers to your questions rising up in your heart from the scriptures you've read. They are brought up into your heart by 'the Helper', the Holy Spirit. That is the miracle of the Word, 'the 'Christ', in the name you have chosen. Bless you.

When i buried my father and sister, I wanted to fight God.


As stupid as that maybe, I wanted to fight with God. I was furious. I was angry but moreover, I was hurt. My response is to fight. Its made my path more (not less) difficult.

Its taken a long time to resolve the issues but I prayed. I asked for forgiveness. I have seen some stuff and I am thankful to have had something worthy of this much pain in loss. I have learned to recognise that I had something precious to lose and I thank God for all that. I have my mother who i will visit for mothers day. I will get her food and flowers. I will never stop assuring her she's not alone and that we all love her.


Double down in these dark times. It's when you need God's love all the way more.
