Hello, I'm Rex. It's been a long time since the last moment I've entered CC. I feel so far from godly people nowadays. I am living alone (literally) and it's really hard for me to gain peace of mind. I used to have a mentor for more than a year until he decided NOT TO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH ME ANYMORE. The reason is, her X-girlfriend misinterpreted my relationship with my mentor(bro. in Christ). I cried for it. I know that my feelings are secured and I just don't accept the fact that my mentor left me without telling his side. Some people also in their church have the wrong interpretation about the matter between the two of us. I am in pain. I am troubled whenever I think of it. So, let me know...What should I do? Thanks for considering this post. SHALOM!!!

I think you should try to settle the events with your former mentor, if at all possible. Maybe you are even wrong why he left? Certainly the gossip that it sounds like is going on in that church is not God's will. I would try to talk to him, maybe through a go-between at that church, just to say a proper goodbye. As far as a new mentor, hang around CC for a while. I'm sure you'll find what you need.

My friend, I pray you find peace and resolve this matter. Gossip can be so harmful, even when those doing the gossip don't mean it to be. I agree with kenisyes, that you should take the initiative and try to find closure with this person. It will be hard but in the long run you'll be glad you did or else you'll just wonder about it and torment yourself over the what ifs. And the what ifs are almost always worse than reality. I hope you find a new mentor, whether in here or where you live. The Lord will see you through this, He's with you, just believe it.

I am sure that my feelings are secured. I am trying to talk to him but he keeps on ignoring me this time. The last moment we had a talk was when he told me " I guess it's better if I don't talk with you bro. It hurts so bad but I think I need to do this."... whewww... He's the only person whom I've shared everything of my personal experiences ups and downs... :( :( :( When he left me, some of my defenses got weak. PRAY FOR ME!!! :'(

Thank you for your advice brother. I really need to be with godly people.

Splendor the only person you need truthfully is Jesus. Jesus speaks and guides. He will be your true mentor. He alone is all truth, and you can tell him everything in prayer. Matter of fact He already knows everything about you, and knows just what you need. Let Him guide you and teach you all things. He will never leave you. Put your trust and hope only in Him brother. For He is the only way to be saved. Having a relationship with Him is what really matters. If needed He will direct you to other believers that can fellowship with you on a closer level. Cry out to Jesus brother. He is able to heal all wounds.

Love you and Blessing brother. Praying for you.
