Christianity Oasis Forum

[Karen Joy]

In the end these three remain Faith, Hope and Love. Faith, I have enough to move mountains, Hope, continues to shine through, Love, thought it had not waxed cold, (as we are warned in scripture), had overcome my own personal heartbreak, towards two husbands and a whole lot of corporate and government injustices, only to arrive here 18 years later. I prayed earnestly after meeting my biological Mother that I not turn bitter towards man as she had, and it seems what I wanted the least has indeed hit me, smack bang!!! Last evening the revelation that indeed the root of bitterness has taken gain, and it seems on a much wider scale than on a personal level. I loathe what man has done to this world, I loathe the stench that is in my nostrils for the suffering, the selfishness, the pride, the perverseness oh!!! the words I want to say would be unacceptable here. So here I sit crying that I am not full of the "Love" for mankind that is so expected of me as my duty as a Christian. I am Born Again since I was 17 years old, I am now 55 years old. I have the help of the Holy Spirit, so once I got the foulest words against man off my chest last night, followed by confession of my sin of "Hate" and not Loving as I should have, I fully expected to wake up this morning transformed, renewed once again. Instead I am still just angry all over again!!! Please*help*

Hello Karen Joy, I am going to welcome you to the Oasis with a big giant . I really like the second part of your name Joy.....but it seems you have lost a bit of your joy....looking at Satan's destruction on this world. If you want to find true love again focus your eyes on Jesus and how He loves us no matter what. Do you know that God's love is known as agape? Agape is a love that loves even when that love is not deserved. One that does not pick and choose who to love but loves all.

As for the destruction of this world that you blame on mankind, I view it as Satan's wrath against God. Mankind are sinners and God knows this. Satan makes mankind turn ugly. So don't hate mankind...hate the sins...not the sinner.

I pray you find forgiveness towards mankind and learn to love again...keep walking through the steps...there is healing within.

Take care and God Bless

Hi Karen Joy

It sounds like you're in the right place. Many people who are hurting or seeking come here and find answers in the 14 day study.

Man kind is evil. But Gods love is huge! If it wasn't so huge where would we be.

Commit these people and their evil to God and let Him judge.

People need joy. It's hard to find these days. Giving all these things to God will help you have your joy back so you can spread that joy around.

God bless and keep you.

Hi Karen, welcome to the forum. I hope you do not mind male input to your thread. If so, please tell me so, and I will humbly bow out.I believe my wife had "hated" me at one time. She had turned into a real nag, complaining about things and often scolding me. And I was about to file for a divorce. And then she forgave me for the things that she thought I had done wrong. It's not that I hadn't done anything wrong. I am surely not perfect. But, some of it was merely delusional and didn't happen at all. Although she has gotten much better, she is still a bit paranoid and delusional about somethings in our relationship. Today, we have a loving relationship and it was forgiveness that held it together. I hope that things work out well for you sister. And God bless.
