frustration

[jsca777]

I've been in tears most of the day. Why do I feel so alone?? I just wish ONE person would pick up the phone and call me. I used to have so many friends. Why does Jesus do this to us?

Jesus didn't do this to you. it's the sinful, ungodly society that does this. Ephesians4:3-6 mentions how God wants people to walk in unity. However, since mankind is in sin, including many in the church, this is not what you can expect to see. Jesus said to do unto others as you would have done unto you. But our society doesn't ackowledge God, therefore, many don't live by the golden rule.

Does he want us for Himself? Is that it? I know God has not left me but it would sure help to have some friends to talk to. I feel like I'm being punished or something.

Would you call it punishment or the cost of being a disciple? Jeremiah said "They hated me without a cause." Remember how they shouted "Crucify Him!!!" towards Jesus. They despised Jesus. In John chapter 8 starting from vs. 12, you read about the religious people hating Him. In vs 44, Jesus said "You are of your father the devil." When people reject you, they are being used of the devil.

I listen to them talk of their idols. I listen to their problems (which may I add would be quickly resolved with the tiniest dose of FAITH). I listen to them with great compassion. But they do not listen to me. It's like they are DEAD inside!

How do you know they don't listen to you? Maybe they are listening. It's just that the truth and your lifestyle convicts, so they shy away. Perhaps they don't want to turn from their sins, therefore they avoid you. 2nd Timothy chapter 3 tells you how the world will be in these latter times. Their hearts will be very dirty and ungodly. During the times of Noah, Noah was the only righteous man lef tin the world. Everyone else was wicked. I wonder how Noah felt?

A friend last night told me that because I wasn't drinking (alcohol) I was "holy" and "better than her" because I spoke to God. I DON'T want people thinking like that.

If she said that to you, then she's the one who was wrong. Don't let what she said influence you. By not drinking, your doing the right thing. You can't change the way people think. There will always be people who think wrong thoughts towards either you or towards others. Again, that is their "Incorrect" thinking, and that's on them.

I don't mean to make them guilty.

You didn't make them guilty, they chose to do what they do.

But how do they think it makes me feel to sit back and watch them live for themselves so selfishly and ungodly.

I know how selfish this world is, "self" is probably the biggest false god there is.

I put a simple statement up on facebook saying "I think we should all try to go the entire day without saying ONE bad word about another person."

Ya know when the book of James talks about taming the tongue, that's what many would have to learn to do first.

One of my friends says "GOOD LUCK!" What?! Is it really that hard for people to be nice?

Some people get off on tearing others down.

I THANK GOD I am not like them. THANK YOU JESUS for opening my eyes to the TRUTH.

I thank God that there are some righteous people in the world inspite of all the wicked people.

I am a member of a church. I'm sure they will have activities for me to do. I will e-mail my pastor. I need to stop being so lazy and do something for God. I know he has plans for me. I just don't know what. Maybe that is why I am so frustrated.

Now that's a good idea. Churches always need volunteers, especially around the holidays. God does have plans for you because you're His now. He watches over all who follow Him.
