i was rejected by my father, if i wanted to sit in his lap he threw me to the ground. the only time he was affectionate was when he was drunk. i had to fight to get away from him. he would grab me by the throat shake his fist at me and tell me how worthless iam. my mother did nothing. the men i liked didnt like me the same way so again i felt rejected. i hate it when friends date/marry. im supposed to automatically be friends with them which is hard for me since i dont trust. God spoke to me tonight and said im jealous of those who are loved since i never experienced it. i broke down. i knew i had feelings of anger, bitterness and resentment but didnt know that jealousy was the root cause. im thankful that He revealed that to me so i can change it. He also spoke words of comfort that everything i lost will be retured to me, that He will turn all bad into good if i trust Him. im hoping this is the breakthrough ive been waiting for and a new beginning. Has anyone else gone through these feelings? how did you overcome them? VIP - Victor In Progress

Hi Sonya!!!
Welcome to Oasis, I am sorry you were treated that way, BUT I am so glad to hear He spoke to you.
Did you know that Jealousy, hatred, anger, bitterness and resentment are all tools of satan, he plants those in us to draw us away from God, so God speaking to you means God wants you to have the strength to stand up and say ENOUGH!!
He will restore you IF you let Him and rebuke the devil by telling him you are God's child and he has NO power over you anymore!!
Please look into the counseling pages on here, they will help you to see what God has for you, and know you have friends now that will pray for you and talk with you but most importantly LOVE and not judge you.
May God continue to bless you in ways only He can, God loves you and so do we.

Yes...the counseling steps are very good. They really helped me get through a depressing time in my life. I am ruled by my emotions and it is a daily battle. God is right there to help always and HE can give us the strength to overcome it.
