Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace.

Matthew 11:28-30
Jesus said "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle, and you will find rest for your souls.*For my yoke fits perfectly, and the burden I give you is light.

Dear Huggles,

I wish I had the answers that could help you out but I do know this - Jesus Loves you. Not only is He the answer but He has the answers.

In Jeremiah 29:11-14a, it says "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back from captivity."

He knew you before you were born. He formed you and He has a plan for you. Like it has been mentioned all ready - cast all your cares on Him and He will give you rest. You will be in my prayers dear one. God bless.

Love,
Snowrose

Hi Huggles, you said you don't know where to turn to. God Bless You.. because you found TJ. The Lord is knocking on the door of your heart. You know in the core of your being that there must be more to this life, and you haven't given up yet, because God has not given up on you. There is hope and there is life and a future in Jesus Christ.

"I am the way and the truth and the life" John14:6

"For whoever finds me, find life
and recieves favour from the Lord" Proverbs8:35

"I am the resurrection and the life John11:25

God is not just offering us eternal life, but life right now on earth, He has a purpose for you and loves you so much that He sent His only begotten son.

Huggles, at one time in my life I thought my life was not worth living, but somehow He saved me and He wants to save you.

"Call to me and I will answer you and tell
you great and mighty (unsearchable) things
you do not know" Jeremiah 33.3

Open the door to Jesus Huggles, He is right there patiently waiting. Rev3:20

I am going to pray for you
love Calluna

Well then I don't think there's anything we can do here. I am baffled about something. You tried calling on Jesus and it didn't help, so why did you choose a forum titled TalkJesus?

 

[Faithful Son]

Jesus will, He will see you through this tough time huggles19
Just keep on believing without doubt, that He can achieve anything in your life. Ask Him to help you, be specific.

I will pray for you huggles19.
Keep strong and ask God to help you stop the cutting, it won't get better if you create more pain. Be strong huggles19

 

[Chad]

Faith is key in Jesus Christ. He does not watch his own children hurt themselves while they truly call out to Him in prayer, He breaks their chains and rescues them in Jesus Christ.

The only way you will get rescued if you truly seek the Lord with all your heart, not just using the mouth but the heart to speak. Remember, faith is key.

God bless you

Hi Huggles

I am writing this cause I kinda understand how you might feel at the moment. I also cried out loud about a year ago that I dont want to any more and why this and why that. Why is all the bad things happening to me when God is a God of love. Also why was I doint things to hurt myself too then.

Well I was truly seeking God, yet I was hiding from Him so that He could not fine me cause I was ashamed and afraid.

But I will tell you this today, God has helped me so much over this past year. I have learnt alot by letting friends in my life showing me and guiding me on the right way.

I got loads to learn still, yet we all learn and will never cease to learn.

But I assure you today, God is a God of love and He always will and always do love you no matter what.

The bad things is the devil's way of trying to trick you and to keep you from God. The devil is a nasty thing and will do every thing in its power to convince you that God does not love you.

But I promise today to you this God LOVES you so much, He loves us all so much, we must just allow Him to love us. Sometimes we are the ones whom reject His love. I know, cause I used to do it that way, till my eyes got opened and wow - now I cant believe I ran away from His love all those years.

No matter what storm you are facing, God will pull you through, He will continue to hold your hand, hon, just dont let go of His hand, cause He wil never let go of your hand. Also God will never let us face a storm that is too huge for us. At the end we are just so much stronger in Him than we were before the storms.

Just keep on holding tight onto Jesus and continue to believe and dont let the devil confuse you or tell you lies.

hi huggles,
i've never cut myself but i've done some crazy things that resulted from my not understanding what God is about and the extent of his love for me so i can identify with what u're going through.
you need first to understand and believe that God is ALMIGHTY and that nothing can seperate you from his love. the devil would definitely try to make you believe otherwise but its up to you(with the help of the holy spirit)to take a stand. You need to come to terms wit the ffact that God cannot lie: when says he loves u, he means he loves u; when he says he has forgiven you becos of christ, he means it; when he says he will never leave or forsake u, its true. the list of his promises is endless you just need to believe.scriptures tel us in 1john5:4&5 that"every child of God defeats this evil world by trusting Christ to give the victory. And the ones who win this battle against the world are the ones who believe that Jesus is the son of God another version of the bible says "this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith in christ.i suggest you read the whole of 1john.
don't stop praying to God, study the bible and meditate upon God's word regularly. examine yourself and see if truly believe in jesus and all that the bible says he is.
Know this that though you face many trials and triulations christ has already overcome this world and "...NOTHING in all creation will ever seperate you from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord"romans8:39.
Much love in Christ.
PS; i'll be prayiing for you.

i dnt kno were 2 turn n e more iv havejust had enough of everythin

Huggles: I am absolutely certain that God has not forsaken you. Read Daniel 10:12-14. It tells about how Satan's demons work to delay God's responses to our prayers.

The demons can delay God's responses, but they cannot stop them. God's answers to our prayers always get through.

i dnt kno were 2 turn n e more iv havejust had enough of everythin

Dear huggles19, You said you don't know were 2 turn any more & that you have just had enough of everything?
And then you said that you're tried all that calling out to him stuff and it ain't helped at all. You also said that you were saved when you was 7 & look were its got you, no were. You say you just don't see the point in it if HE was such a loving God why are you cutting to take so much pain away it don't make sense 2 you at all.
Well first, you must try to live your life according to the way GOD wants you to live. All that calling out to HIM may not help if HE does not hear you. GOD hears the cries of HIS children - the ones that love HIM and are willing to live by HIS Rules & Regulations.
* And how can you expect GOD to help you if you don't do as HE says?
And as far as cutting yourself to take away your pain - that is not GOD'S doing - but you - yourself doing it. An awful & ugly habit that you developed with in yourself.
I feel for you & I can only imagine your pain. I know it's real, but the only one that can stop you from cutting yourself is you.
When ever you start to feel depressed about what ever it is that taunts you - try to think about the things that make you happy & if it's possible then go and do them. {As long as what makes you happy will not cause someone else heartache or pain}.
But remember, if you want GOD to reach out to you - then you need to reach out to HIM first, with a willing heart to want to do things HIS way. Don't give up!
GOD still cares about you! HE just wants you to listen to HIM & to HIS Son Christ Jesus.
Also, when I was in trouble I would call on GOD'S name 'Jehovah' and HE did come to my rescue. I will be praying for you.

You really do not sound as if you are happy. But remember this one thing, Jesus carried the burdens of all on the cross. That is why he said "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden (with burdens/problems/ - sin), and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you (become a slave to righteousness rather than sin), an learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

He is ready to show mercy. Take your mind off your self an call upon the Lord and He will answer!

Please do not do anything to yourself, you are welcome to contact me (edited by ladylovesjesus) Let me know all about your problems and allow me to respond from the Word of God to your benefit.

I look forward to helping you

regards
Donald

[Gideon]

Self pity is pride magnified! Live the way God wants you to live and you will never complain. You'll be blessed. But don't expect God to stoop down to adjust to your ways. HE IS GOD!
Deal with your problem. If there is any unconfessed sin, confess it before God and get over it. Trust Jesus. He will never fail you. The arm of flesh will fail you. But God never fails.
Dear friend, you deserve no sympathy. But you require correction and rebuke. You know that you need to get right with God. DO THAT! Don't expect a whole bunch of christians to feed you with sympathy. We will all pray for you. We all love you. But ultimately it is you who have to make that choice.
" I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants" Deuteronomy 30:19
it is up to you. God will never drive you crazy. God will never disappoint you. ...Provided that you walk in his ways. Examine your own self. CHOOSE LIFE and LIVE!!
Yours in Christ,
Gideon
PS: Huggles, GOD won't give up on you. I know it coz HE never gave up on me.

Hi

I can understand ur pain except for the cutting part. I want you to know that God LOVES and CARES for YOU so do every one else who has written to you. Please dont take your life its would be the last decision and the worst you could ever make. Cause once your dead you cant chose where your going. Please hold on there is more to life. As some of the others have said Cry out to Jesus i know He will hear you even if your not walking in his ways. Its says in the bible that even Gods heart breaks when a sparrow dies so He cares about you alot more even though it may not seem like it.

Please hang on to Jesus you wont regret it
Cause I havent

With lots of care and love

Lofty

What the Bible says

Quoted article from gotquestions.

Question: "What does the Bible say about self-mutilation / cutting?"

Answer: In the Old Testament of the Bible, self-mutilation was a common practice among false religions. 1 Kings 18:24-29 describes a ritual in which those who worshiped the false god Baal slashed themselves with swords and spears, as was their custom. Because of the traditions of pagans, God made a law against this sort of practice. Leviticus 19:28 says, “You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the LORD.”

In the New Testament, cutting oneself was associated with someone who was possessed by demons (Mark 5:2-5). It was characteristic of behavior caused by evil spirits. Today, self-mutilation is rarely used for ritualistic practices or actual demon possession, but instead usually by teen-agers and young adults who have misplaced anger and pain that they are attempting to work out in destructive ways. Instead of dealing with emotional pain, some people would rather bring themselves physical pain, which actually serves as a relief from stress. Unfortunately, though, this sense of relief is quite short-lived, and the feeling of wanting to be self-destructive quickly returns.

The Bible doesn't talk about self-mutilation in terms of depression or anxiety, but it is very important that whoever is making a practice of this seeks immediate psychological (and hopefully Christian) counseling. They may need to obtain medication in dealing with a mental illness. This behavior also indicates, or can lead to, drug and/or alcohol abuse, eating disorders, identity disorders, and suicidal thoughts or even attempts. 1 Corinthians 6:19 tells us how important our bodies are to the Lord. We no longer belong to ourselves, but instead we belong to Christ, who purchased us at a high price. We should not abuse one of the greatest gifts we have been given.

A person who is struggling with self-mutilation should seek immediate counsel from a pastor and/or Christian counselor. Self-mutilation is the result of an incorrect view of yourself and of your personal value to God. A personal relationship with Jesus Christ and a proper understanding of His love is the only true cure for self-mutilation.

Huggles needs our help, not rebuking or anger. As I told huggles before, Jesus will help, no mater how many times you call to Him and ask. Jesus is using us to minister to huggles in some way. I hope huggles comes back to tj I haven't seen her in a while.

[Donald]

Just to continue where I left off. It seems that everyone has an answer to this problem' however let us not loose sight of this one fact, that if anyone is in Christ he/she is a new creation, the old has gone and the new has come (2 Corinthians 5:17). Paul, speaking by the Holy Spirit, says to everyone "be reconciled to God" (2 Corinthians 5:18:21). God is reconciling people to Himself because His love is totally outward going! He knows mans condition and his need for salvation. Psychology never entered into the picture at all! And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God (Romans 12:2).

How do we know the perfect will of God, through His Word , written on our minds and hearts by the Holy Ghost! Hebrews 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind and write them in their hearts and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people .... This is a promise from God Himself! 2 Corinthians 3:2-3 ... Ye are our epistle (letter) written in our hearts, known and read of all men: forasmust as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart. .... For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. (Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the Scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (2 Peter 1:20-21). Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God; that we may know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth (ie psychology) but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

Jesus Himself said He would ask the Father and He would give us another comforter that will abide with us forever! Even the Spirit of trueth .... But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all I have said unto you.....

Keep own interpretations out, especially any phsychology, let us help people by taking them to the eternal Word of God. God does not have a beginning or an ending because He is eternal, He lives and abides in eternity. Therefore His Word, which came from eternity, draws men, woman and children to eternal life!!

Jesus did not say go and make disciples he said go and teach the nations (OKJV - which is the Authorised Version) and then the Gospel in the power of the Holy Ghost will convict the heart and and turn men, women and children to Him. Pauls said he was not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first and also to the Greek (Romans 1:16) once salvation has come they are to be baptised in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you (discipleship).....

Love in Christ
Donald
