faithfully faithless

Postby rain » Mon May 05, 2008 11:28 pm

Its been a rouch week for me.
and its only monday evening.
I need something good to happen to me, and I need it soon before I lose faith in humanity. Im totally serious. Im struggling to understand why God would make such an amazing world with all these complex and amazing things in and and then h create Humans. who quickly took it upon themselves to try and destroy it, and each other.
although right now I say Im struggling to understand why God did that i think Im mostly just struggling to understand god. I know Im not supposed to. I know Im just supposed to have blind faith but its become increasingly difficult for me to do that over the last few weeks when I know that I cant even have blind faith in the tangible people of this world.
maybe thats how its supposed to be, maybe he's just trying to tell me that i should have more faith in him rather than my friends, and honestly I would rather not have faith in either one of them right now. my friends fail me, and right now I feel like God has too. its times like these that I really consider giving up. but then it crosses my mind that I have a few friends that never gave up on me and the bible says that God will never give up on me either.but its still very tempting to just give up cause its a hell of a lot easier than trying to have faith in something that makes me feel so faithless. but yeah...thats whats on my mind tonight. just thought Id vent alittle.

My rainy *hug*

I luv u :) and ive missed u :(

I know you are going thru a rough time, and Im glad u shared your thoughts with your family here, as we love and care for u, and are here for you whenever you need to vent or talk.

Jesus never promised us a rose garden here on earth. God is faithful, His Word is faithful and true. What He did promise us, was that He would be there with us, throughout our trials, and would never abandon or forsake us. He also promises us that He will not give us anything more than we can bear and will provide a way for us to get thru it.

We must remember, that no matter how bad it gets here on earth, we must keep our eye on the prize. That which awaits us after we leave here, cuz as long as we are on this earth, there will be sin and trials. But our hope lies in Christ Jesus and what He died to give us. Eternal life with Him.

Dont let the actions of an imperfect people, cause you to doubt in the Lord. He is not human, He does not fall short. The wrongs that people do to each other, is not a reflection on God. He gave us free will, cuz He wanted us to choose to do the right thing, to choose Him, so that when the time comes, He would know who to choose to receive the crown of life.

So keep fighting the good fight, and when the things around you seem too horrible to understand, or too difficult to bear, cast your eyes to the heavens and know that your Lord hears your every cry, and that someday, He will wipe away those tears and you will live forever with Him.

Isaiah 64:4 For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.

God bless you little sis *hug*

rain *hug* my friend.

Sorry to see you having such a hard time. May you know that God hasn't given up on you. Right now it's hard to see through the pain and desperation, but that's because Satan is using these trials to blind you. Open your eyes to the Light. Spend some time praying and listening to Christian tunes.

I'm praying for you sis. You might also try doing the Christian Counseling Steps here, if you haven't ever done them. They are awesome and will help you heal.

luv ya and Take Care

aww rainy *hug* I like to start with yes grl I agree a world full of humans ...

what are humans ...

SINNERS right??? Sis God never intended for Sin let alone a world full of them ...

I too wrestle with how bad some can be but if we stop and think about the things we have done or do and Gods sooo Grace and Mercy has given us so many chances when we sometimes think we are not worthy ...

Rain God never intended Sin sorrows and Death that was a aweful trick played on us by the enemie satan ...

He on the flip side comes to rob steal and destroy KILL ...
Grl God come to give us life and give t more abundantly ...
JOHN 10:10T he thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.


I feel so bad when I think God how could you cuz He is saying the very thing people why ??? How come??? Why dont ya turn to me???
God isnt the one sitting up there picking the trials but satan is ...

Have to rememeber God created us with Free Will and gave adam and eve everything they needed to live a perfect sinles life but here come some one who wanted to be God and disupt all humanity and stole from us as he still does today ...

Thru people who dont have the Lord and even by us who doooo if we not prayed up and walking with God ...

rain I wish life was not like this either I some times think man oh man ...
but Truth its already been written now and satan will have his day ....

and so will the ones that choose not to walk with the Lord and not choose him ...

see the people that hurt us are being used by the enemie or his spiritual helpers the fallen angels and there job is to keep as many from God and our job is the opposite thru Christ amen

Soooo see we can have an abundant life but we must choose to forgive not judge and seek God every one will stand for there own and be JOYOUS in them times when we feel at worse I can say I have been feeling at that worse and yet forcing myself in trusting God and I am seeing a POWER and PEACE that comes from this JOY in the Lord ...

It like replacing worrie and stress for blessings and miracles ...

rainy satan will try us till God call us home sooo dont let tsatan rob the very one that can help ya JESUS!!!

That is his goal see the same person who abused me asbuses others and that is any one who is a tool for the devil and doesnt have the Lord Jesus or is not walking with God amen

He loves ya sooo much and would rather none should perish its not in His Will for any of this ...

We can change destiny amen by choices we make thru HIM !!!
Rain God so Loved the World that He gave grl He gave His life ...
yes gave His son but it is written Jesus is God immanuel God with us amen

The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel

Hi Rain,

Try this: (It worked wonders for me recently)

Seek God through Praise.
Look for the blessings in troubled things and times.
Sing Praises and continue to seek God.
Offer forgiveness to those who offend,
as Jesus did on the cross.
Praise and Worship God with all your heart, all day long.
Hold nothing back.

Then rejoice in the peace that comes upon you.


God is with me. His peace is with me.
It is contagious, for my family is at peace as well.
Its Amazing! Its Wonderful!
