He wants to what?!
lilitalienboi16:
I don't know, I mean I do agree with you Dennis, He does teach us things and in those moments of teaching and chastizing He does do just that with no hugs or kisses so that we may learn and grow more like Him. I think I Just feel that when a child cries, or a grown man cries, or a woman cries, that Jesus is right there beside them, crying with them too. When Jesus saw Jerusalem, He wept didn't He? I don't know.. thats just how I see how close He is to us, like when ray in one of His papers asked, "Before the scene of a crime, is God there? Is God at the scene of where a woman is going to be raped?" (of course i paraphrased that :o) I mean and ray put it, that Hes there, Hes everywhere, Hes right there with us in the thick and fog of war. I find that comforting, I find that to be a sp iritual hug of sorts, to know when im down and out, absolutely broken and destroyed that God feels all my pain, that Hes right there with me crying too. It makes me feel really close to Him when I look at it that way. Hes not blind nor deaf to our pains and suffering and the things He puts us through. And im not saying that youre saying He doesn't feel our pain, I'm just saying.. lol xD

Hi gk,
We should realize that we are only in the first part of God's plan. We are in this church age and a time of learning from an evil experience.

This is all part of this time in the human experience, the first part of God's plan for us. Do you know what He has in store for these in the next age? Do you think that He can not, will not or won't right these wrongs?
I have absolute complete trust that He will see to it that every single person will be compensated in the most exacting degree for what they lived/experienced in this life. It seems to me if a person lived a life doing wickedness, they can expect to go through some tormenting correction. But if a person was a victim to much injustice or circumstances they could not overcome, do you not think they will be shown much mercy in the age to come by God? I DO, I believe He will totally right all wrongs as only He can do.
Pesonally I think things will be flipped around in the next age, "many who are first will be last, and the last first." Whatever God has planned it will be just and it will be precisely what is necessary to deal with every individual according to His great wisdom.
Those that shake their puny fist at God now, is only because of their ingorance about God's plan and what He can and will do.
Rev 22:11 Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy."
v. 12 "Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense, to repay every one for what he has done.
v. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end."
mercy, peace and love

Good thread. lilitalienboi it is good to see you posting. I remember you from a couple of years ago. You seem very sincere and tender hearted towards God. Praise him for that. GK - I understand your post very well. Take heart you are not alone. Like many here I have been awakened by God and the truth for many years and yet I too am going through some really empty times lately. I know we all have these trials etc., but it is really humbling to feel almost like the darkness is prevailing. Your post GK actually encouraged me by your honesty and openess. I hope you will be encouraged soon by some circumstance that the Father arranges just to bless you. Thanks to all for sharing whether it is through a time of great strength or maybe a time of despair. It is all of God.
Joel:
Jesus said this, even to those that rejected him.
Matthew 23:37
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
thou that killest the prophets,
and stonest them which are sent unto thee,
HOW OFTEN WOULD I HAVE GATHERED THY CHILDREN TOGETHER,
EVEN AS A HEN GATHERETH HER CHICKENS UNDER HER WINGS,
AND YE WOULD NOT!
I pray that I may be ever thankful to God for the abundance of all things. See Deuteronomy 28:47
I feel spiritual hugs sometimes when I log in and read the TRUTHS that so many don't see, are blind to and cast aside.
Joel

--- Quote ---So and but, all these 'blessings' from a 'hugging' God?
I'll say it like I say it to God just about every single day over mine and his (minus him) cups of coffee: 'cut me (and a whole bunch of others) some slack'.

Hello Gary. Here is the short of it... if you will...
Heb 12:5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
Heb 12:6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
Heb 12:7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
2Ti 2:12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny [him], he also will deny us:
Rom 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with [him], that we may be also glorified together.
Joh 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
Rom 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Tit 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
Tit 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Eph 1:11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
2Co 1:3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
2Co 1:4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
2Co 1:5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
2Co 1:6 And whether we be afflicted, [it is] for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, [it is] for your consolation and salvation. 2Co 1:7 And our hope of you [is] stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.
2Co 1:8 For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:
2Co 1:9 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:
2Co 1:10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
Col 1:23 If you keep yourselves safely based in the faith, not moved from the hope of the good news which came to you, and which was given to every living being under heaven; of which I, Paul, was made a servant.
Col 1:24 Now I have joy in my pain because of you, and in my flesh I undergo whatever is still needed to make the sorrows of Christ complete, for the salvation of his body, the church;
Peace...Mark
