We are human and as humans, we relate to and confide in our own kind in addition to confiding in God. God has given us all the ability to show compassion to our fellow humans, but whether we use that gift at all, depends upon who we are and whether or not we wish to 'get involved'.

Way too many times, these days, someone will cry out for help and no one listens or cares. However, sometimes there is that one caring person who will come forth and make an attempt to help when no one else can or will.

Being able to confide in a 'stranger' is difficult for most persons, but as humans and especially as Christians, we have also been given the gift of discernment... so we can look into the heart of the person offering the help and see if they are truly sincere.

There are many good, honest, non-biased persons who can and will help. It is just a matter of patience in finding that one person who cares and whom we feel comfortable with. We also pray to Our Father to share one of His children with us in a confiding role... a person who will heed the call for help and who will take the time to do whatever is necessary to ease the burdens of the person in need.

May God Bless...

God could feed all the hungry and clothe all the naked and comfort all the afflicted all by His lonesome. What He has done, however, is to delegate much of those tasks to His servants. It pleases Him that we should minister to one another, even in our weakness and foolishness. So, in a word, no, it is far from wrong to desire to relate to a another flesh-bound spirit

God cares, we care, and I care about you.

We are instructed to bear ye one anothers burdens but we cannot do that if they aren't shared with us. It is also true in all to many churches that people are ignored- I have been in congregations where a person could die of loneliness and never be seen. The "extroverts" and the "pretty people" with social graces do fine but it is the others who suffer.
Violet have you guys ever found a new home church? If so you need to plug into some of the home groups- there are many out there needing your ministry and love- as you give these you will find your healing process began.
If you need someone to talk to you can always count on your CFS family but the real cure is to get out and share the love of Christ with others - there are so many bleeding wounded souls in church- God has given you understanding and compassion for these- share His love. I will keep you in my prayers as always- brother Larry

Sister Violet,

You are experience the greatest of all things in your life right now! The feelings you are feeling is the LORD working through your heart, in your life. He is preparing you for something, adjusting your heart, trying to tell you something and or moving/ changing your position or direction.

Our father guides, disciplines and corrects those who are his ,so if your being diciplined, moved or taught that means you are his.
And sister there can be no greater news than that!!!!

I can't tell you what He has for you but Having been in the same situation myself I can suggest some things you might wish to concider.

Maybe you need to pray aloud. so that you can hear a voice when alone with him. (I don't know why but that has helped me as I used to whisper or pray in my heart or siliently before)

Maybe He is telling you that he wants you or that you need to be in a church fellowship.( I suggest that you visit some or go with someone you know to one).

Knowing what I do of you from this forum I seriously doubt this is the answer. But I must state it just in case. Is there something or anything that you need to confess??? A sin, a temptation that has caused you to stumble or fall. A weakness that Satan has or is at least trying to take you down with???
( Sin needs confession for the heart of the believer to find peace)

Maybe our father just wants you to call upon him, or re-evaluate and adjust something in your life. Or show you who you can and cannot trust.
God always makes all thing for the best of those who love him. Knowing that can asure you that this is only a season and will pass and in the end it will be for your good.
It is by the trials and tribulation the sorrow and suffering that we grow in christ. So above all be thankful that you have them.
And from there seek to know and respond to what the father has for you

Be encouraged for the LORD will let you suffer with this no longer than nescesary. And the blessing will be greater than he suffering. For that is the way of the LORD.


In his love
Cliff

Kimmie as you know I ran a Christian Counseling Service for 18 years. That is because Chruistians do need someone to talk to. I saw many church leaders during that period.
So your need is normal!
It is not a sign of spiritual weakness.
If you ever feel the need to chat in total 100% confidance that it will not be shared with anyone please feel free to email me. You have my address.
Praying for you,
Ray
