I have been going through some personal struggles for the last few months and I wanted to remind all the singles you deserve God's very best for your life. Don't settle for anything less. Do not allow yourself to be defined by the opposite sex and don't allow them to degrade and constantly put you down because God created who you are and we all know he doesn't make a mistake. There is a purpose for you and no man or woman can take that away from you. I pray that you don't have to experience what I did, but it did make me stronger in Christ. I also need to give credit to people who helped me dust myself off because I have the best friends anyone could ever ask for and for that I am blessed.

One more thing: Do not allow the mistakes of another affect any other relationship. When you do, you are giving all the credit to the enemy and I for one don't want that.

Let the peace cycle be your friend. So often we let painful things speak lies to us about ourselves. Recognize pain, process it and feel it.... then tell yourself the truth about yourself. That is essence of the cycle of peace.

Thank you, Cmarieh! I have an idea of what you are going though and it's so upsetting. Know that the Lord loves you and wants to give you many blessings in life.

I am just a PM away if you need anything. God bless you, sister!

I don't know about you, brother. But as a male, I recognise the pain and I feel it, but processing the pain is the difficult step. Not quite as difficult as telling yourself the truth about yourself. But close. Thanks for your help. :)

When we feel emotional pain we do little things to trick ourselves out of it....like smile or laugh. We each have our own little tool we employ to not feel pain. I attempt to laugh it off....i've stopped doing that and the other day I saw my 8 year old son do very same the same thing! I pointed it out to him and told him that I wasn't gonna let him off the hook from identifying and really feeling the pain he was experiencing. Unprocessed pain leads to anger anxiety and depression.

Amen, sister..so true! Satan loves to make anyone feel they are of NO Worth...but you have broken that idea by this awesome testimony and simplistic approach...GOD bless you for this..I hope many others will take this into their hearts and begin a new change, along with the Holy SPIRIT's touch.

Honestly, I don't despise people like that instead I feel sorry for them because they don't know all of God's love he does have for them and I do pray that one day the Holy Spirit will make him come alive. I forgave him and continually moving forward because that's what my bible teaches me. No matter what anyone says or does to me I pray for God to bless them in a mighty way, it might take a day or two but I do

people who lash out at others are in pain and have a very low view of themselves

That's what my dad said to me when I finally came clean with him and boy was he angry of how any man can talk to a woman that way and he just loved on me and said everything is okay and I am a strong woman that he will miss out on getting to know
