--- Quote from: Musterseed on November 08, 2016, 10:26:37 AM ---Thankyou all so much. I was up at six this morning , excited to go online and read. I am learning so very much from all of you. I have had a rough couple of years and many changes. I have been looking behind me a lot lately and now understand what it all means. Every day is a struggle but I know it is all for the greater good. Please can you help me understand the feeling of wanting to be a recluse, I seem to not want to be around people much. I feel bad about this. I have to tell you, my home is originally a place called Newfoundland and we still use the word YE as plural for you and many other biblical terms, I noticed this while reading the bible. Also something else I am learning is that Our Lord has a sense of humour. I have never experienced a love so great. AGain Thank you .     Pamela

Jesus was not a recluse, nor were his disciples and apostles.

We are to have the 'Mind of Christ' and renew our mind - which to me, includes, changing the way we think, as well as changing the desires of our heart.

We will all, always, have to be in contact with, and have relationships, with all sorts of people; as well as those that desire to always please Him.

We need to know how to relate to those that currently do not seek to please and love Our Heavenly Father and His Begotten Son.

Only by His Holy Spirit can He direct you on this matter.

We are to live as 'living letters' and not 'Bible bash' anyone - so, if someone asks us a question about Him, we should be able to answer them in a way that they will understand what we are saying - and even then, it is only by His Holy Spirit that they will really understand what you said.

There is a lot of information on BibleTruths.com and on this Forum - and we all know it is impossible to discuss the deep things of Our Heavenly Father with most people - and that is probably why, most of us, learn from each other on this Forum.

Very Kind Regards and Warmest Wishes.

George

Hello Pamela,

I totally agree with you, that Jesus does indeed have a sense of humour.

With the recluse thing I truly do understand where you are coming from. I have never been married. I Have been alone most of my life and Jesus is my constant companion. Over the years i have had very severe trials and by this have learned to trust the Lord completely.

From the beginning of my walk, which has been 40 years by the way, I have been immersed in the Game of tenpin bowling. From this I have had many discussions on life in general and just by mentioning the things in which I believe, Lights have been turned on. I do not know the full results of the many discussions I have had but through it all I know that I have influenced many lives. I have travelled all around the Country playing this Game and know that Jesus has used it for his very purposes.

Having said that, I live alone in a one bedroom apartment here on the Gold Coast, Queensland Australia, and yes I do not socialise a lot with the people in the complex. There are reasons but i won't go into them.

Again you are not alone in this thinking, so do not be concerned. Remember Our God is a Jealous God and does require our complete attention. Although it does not mean that you hide yourself away. We must go into this World as 'Shining Lights' and be prepared to give an answer to the hope that is in us.

Find an interest that means being involved with people with the purpose of being a 'Shining Light' and i am positive that Jesus will bless you in your undertaking in ways you never thought were possible. Believe me there will be many trials, but by this you will learn to trust the Lord with all your heart.

You can count on it. Love to you and yours. Regards, Geoff.

Thanks Geoff
I appreciate all advise, all your experiences, and to know that I have a place on this forum to learn. I have always loved to read and gain knowledge ever since I was a kid. This past summer , God inspired me to buy a little camper and go back to the Place I was born. My husband and I travelled for three weeks camping in Newfoundland, meeting people from all over the world doing the same thing and visiting family and friends. With my renewed mind I was able to see more clear and desern which people I wanted to be around. I was sad to see many of my old friends in turmoil, health issues, money problems, judging each other, hatred, self pity, and getting saved with the eleven second prayer, most were still in Mystry Babylon. IT broke my heart, even my own sisters and brother. I realized that they were still in the prison that I was in and all I could do was Love them, and be kind in my words. As for having the mind of Christ, I believe it comes a little here and a little there for me, slow and steady and I submit, meditate on it with The Lords Help. Thank you for reassuring me Geoff, I pray and love all of you here. .
For of Him,and through Him and to Him are ALL things, to whom be Glory forever. Amen Rom. 11:36. Australia eh, well then G-day mate

Dave in Tenn:
Hi Pamela, don't overburden yourself on this score.  Jesus socialized AND He went off by Himself.  He was a man of sorrows, acquainted with Grief AND he was full of Holy Spirit, the fruit of which is Joy.  No matter what you are feeling, it's very easy to "follow Him" in this regard.  There is a time and a place for every purpose under the heavens.   Since He's calling all men everywhere to 'repent', I believe He wants the 'extrovert' to experience more introspection, and the 'introvert' to experience more sociability.  He'll take you from where you are to where He wants you.  Don't worry about anything.
