I love Jesus.. because while i grew up in church, i can only say that i really started my hardcore love and relationship with him when i was 17... and since then... he never fails me. and i've really been through a lot and he is always there for me. He is a faithful friend who sticks closer then a brother. while i've lived to see some really ... difficult thingsg in my life. i have also seen the lord do some things that are seemingly impossible. i just love him for being a way maker in my life and opening doors for me where there were none. and I just love him because he takes care of my son when i can't be there. when i'm at work.. or when he goes to school.. and i have to entrust my son to other people even for just a few hours a day. in my heart as a mother.. i just feel like i don't trust people.. but i trust the Lord.. and I just commit my son into his hands each and every day... and it's good to know that even if i can't be with my son everywhere... the Lord can and is... that gives me joy and hope. 3nodding

I love God 'cause He is faithful. I've walked with God for a very long time, and sometimes I lose faith or I dont trust Him. sometimes I have turned my back on Him... and still He is there for me. and even when I fall and when I want to quit God NEVER gives up on me. He is always there for me and when no one else can ease my pain He always calls to me and reminds me how beautiful and precious life is. God is sooo amazing because He never gives up on us and He keeps opening the doors. I love God because He never leaves my side heart

I love God because there's no where else to turn. When I realize who sinful and hopeless I am, I remember that he forgives everything and that I don't have to worry about things anymore. That's not the only reason, but it's one of the main reasons - it's what keeps me going.

God has been so good to me over the years. I grew up in church I got saved when I was 17... that was a few years ago. But I never really met Him untill I was in my teens. I love Him because he as always been there for me. He saw me throught the lose of dear freinds a cheating Boyfriend an abusive boyfriend and physical assault and... well lets just say if it weren't for the loving protection of my God I might now be here today. Most people with my kind of story have made choises that hurt them and end up paying for thier mistakes. Since my attack I have talk to alot of christians like that and I am THRILLED that God has tuched them. But for me well I was just happen to be in wrong place. But God always keep me safe. I know if I am hurting or set that I can run to Him and He will always be there. I also know that if things are going well I can run and tell Him that too. I mean our family and friends don't like only hearing the bad. Why would God be au differnt? He too wants to hear from us when things are good.

God is indescribably amazing. He has pulled me through the toughest of battles, he has rescued me from the deepest of holes, and he has loved me with the deepest of love. He has filled me with so much joy and even through the hard times, just knowing that he is there gives me peace. I have hope. He is a kind, merciful, and forgiving God. Even though I have forsaken him many times, he still loves me and still watches over me. I love him for all that he has done for me. I love him for helping me to become who I am now. I love him for showing me the truth. I love him for his mercy and his love and is willingness to forgive. I love him for everythings.

God is Almighty, all-powerful, and the single most awesome Being in the universe. He created all, has the power to destroy all. If all was perfectly fair, we would be the unworthy scum between His toes....
smile But He loves us anyway!
That's why I love Him-- none of us deserve to know Him, and yet we are promised eternity by His side. heart I can face anything on this world as long as I know He's always there!

Nice.
Three of my best friends died.
8 breakups.
2 of my girlfriends died.
I have a dead sister.
And I'm probably next.
I love my life.
And I thank God for it all.
Hell, he even gave me a homicidal father that wants to kill me and whatever's left of my family too.
I'm seeing everything I care for die in front of me.
Hopefully when the next disaster starts I didn't take my anti-depression pills.
Man, I wish God at least helped me just once...

God allows "bad" things to happen because He gives us free choice. When Adam and Eve ate of the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they sinned and learned other ways to sin. From thier actions we also know good and evil, and have the same curse they recieved. Pain and suffering comes from this curse of sin. The pain we feel is the consequences of our sin and the sin of others. God didn't not create us and the world this way, we chose it. God can and will help us if we call on His name, and sometimes even if we don't, but He doesn't shelter us. The fact that you are in this forum shows that He does want something better for you, you just have to choose it. As I have chosen to follow Christ I have learned that He does help lessen the pain dramaticly, it just takes time. But as the saying goes, you have to take that "leap of faith" to get there.

I'm willing to wait.
He's ain't gettin' me down.
All I do is fight.
I suppose that's a Sin and he's punishing me.
Quaint.

and now is when i would have to disagree. As i've come to see through my own trials and episodes of Major Depression, God does not punish anyone. He doesn't look at someone and go:
"Oh look, they just stole that candybar! DOOM on their whole family!!"
*beep* no, wrong-o. As I stated in the coffeehouse, people have free will. I've seen plenty of people die in my time, i've had friends who desert me because i didn't sit with them at lunch. When their time comes, it's hard for those still living to grasp the fact that their passing was for a reason.
I fight too. heck, i'm a violent person if you even so much as touch me (it's just how i've grown up, if you need that explanation i'll give it, but not here). I cry out, wondering why in the world i'm worth something to him. Why me, a piece of filth on the planet? I make God smile, that's why. Through my pain, he is sitting next to me while i hide away in my closet. In my happiness, he's rejoicing with me.
My brother has tried to kill me. Slabbing, suffocation mostly. He is three years younger then me, and my parents could care less. They just take away his XBox for a week after he says he'll never do it again. my first boyfriend asked me to go kill myself as a break-up, and my second one stopped all communication while he went out with a person with teh same first and middle name as me. I have two best friends that I never see, because they live too far away. I don't have any other friends, mostly because I jsut don't fit in with anyone. I wake up every morning, like i have for the past 5 years, asking God why he didn't take me away from this painful life. I have untreated Major Depression and get verbally, emotionally, and physically abused. I am 16 years old and have been planning my own death since i was 10. After six years, i still can't look at myself in a mirror and say i'm worth anything to this world. But that's jsut it, this world is temporary. It's only a brief intermission before the real party starts.
That is why I love my God. Because he cares about me, even when i'd rather go jump in front of traffic, he's always there picking me up when I fall down. And believe me, I do that enough for the rest of the population an then some. If he takes care off the whole world around me, like the birds of the sky or leaves on the trees, how much more am I to him that he sends his own son to die for? I have to be worth something, even if it's only a little.
The sufferings we have to face are for a reason. They aren't jsut so that someone can point an laugh while we wither on the cold tiled floor. No, everything always happens for a reason. One day, you'll cross paths with someone who is going through what you have. You will be able to look them dead in the eye and say "I know what you feel like". Well, maybe not those words because mine are always a little cheezy ^^;, but I hope you get the drift. Right now, I am going to be helping in a Girls Small Group. I am going to be one of those people who can say that no one can touch my soul. They can break my bones and make my heart bleed, but Jesus protects my soul, and that is the highest security money can't buy.
Why do you fight Nexus, is it something more then just loss? You don't have to say it on here, heck, you don't have to say it at all. Can you do one thing, make out a written list of all the things you have to live for. using the alphabet. you don't have to fill in every one (i get trapped at Q and X usually ^^ smile just go with first impulse. don't even think about it. You always sign your messages "I'd rather face an eternity of pain, than a moment of sorrow", but I think you are too sad for words at teh core.
