I know exactly how you feel. Most people who know me think I'm 'jinxed' when in reality I'm being taught valuable lessons, just as you and everyone else here are.

Heb 5-7

'... "My son, don't take lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him;

6 For whom the Lord loves, he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives."

7 It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn't discipline?

It DOES get lonely in the world sometimes because we are in it, but not of it now [regardless of how often it tries to suck us back into the ways of the flesh] I think that is why God gives us each other the way He has. You are not as alone as you might feel sometimes. The MAIN thing is, is that He loves you [yaaaay!] and you are having a very close and personal relationship with Him. What a real blessing that is.
Hang in there brother! :)

luv'n'stuff

Thank you angie, and thank you for the verse. Its true, He deals with us as His sons and daugthers, but i can't lie and say it takes the pain away.. because it doesn't, even after what He said to me, i still hurt. I know though that its all apart of His plan, and that He is not destroying me, but working in me. To bad this fire hurts so much ><

To bobby, i never said anything about your story, but i should have. I wanted to thank you for it, it gives me hope, even greater hope then i already have, to hear that everything worked out with you even after those long break ups. Thanks again brother.

God bless,

Alex

Dear Alex,
You're stronger than you think, because our good Lord wouldn't have you endure such pain if he knew you couldn't handle it.

With love from a sister,
Marie

Alex,
   You are, most definitely, going to be okay.  Although it may not seem like it now, this too is all part of His plan for your life.  Sometimes I think God does talk with us directly....it happened to me a few times and it's always changed my life a lot in a short amount of time.  The things that are hurting you now, you will learn from them.  I broke up with a boyfriend that I didn't think I could live without...whom I loved to distraction, and then decided I would just stay alone to avoid that hurt.  Six months later I started dating a wonderful guy.  We've been married for 12 years now and it is absolutely wonderful.  God takes care of all of us, in His way.  These heartaches are temporary and always for our good.

God be with you in your trials.  My prayers are with you.

Love to you my brother in Christ,

mongoose

Thanks for the encouragment.. but it hurts me so much.. last night i couldn't sleep. All i could do was think about her... i'm so in love with this girl... I trust what God said but it hurts me so much.... i'm in so much emotional pain. :(

 :'( I hurt with you.  But believe ALL of us you do get thru this, pain and all.

My husband of 33 years broke up with me about 3 months before we got married.  Said he was confused, needed to think, space, blah blah blah....Of course I was devastated, not sleeping, insides hurting all the time...during this I said, out loud when I prayed, Lord I want to want what you want.

Notice I didn't want to want God's will....I just wanted to want to...couldn't muster it up on my own. Of course I told the Lord, I will be single, or a missionary, or there is someone better out there that you are preparing for me, blah blah...God knew my heart of course tht I really loved this one.

Anyway, My then boyfirend, now husband, read CS Lewis"Mere Christianity" and had a great revelation hit him.....I WAS the one for Him....Ha!!

God has shared with you something very precious.  Do you believe HIM??  Then dry your eyes and get as close to HIM as you can, read, pray, study, pray, help others and pray for your girlfriend as you have never prayed before...for HER maturity, for HER eyes to be opened, and pray for time--it is your greatest gift now.

I will be praying for you!!

PS  I had dated and been engaged to another guy for 4 years before I met my husband.  But that is for another day ;)
