Question about leaving God

Would you tell that to someone who has cancer and has to shave not only eyebrows but their whole head?

They are thankful for just being alive.

If you eyebrows bother you that much, wear makeup.

You could shave my eyebrows and my whole head of you like. Outward appearances don't really matter as much as the,inward heart.

You could be movie star beautiful and still be miserable without God's peace and joy and a thankful heart.

You choose: focus on what's wrong with your life and whine about what you don't have.
.
Or open your eyes to the blessing of what God has already given you give thanks and ask God his will for your life instead of your demands of what you believe God owes you.

At this point you are probably offended and sulking, so I will let someone else explain what it means to be born again and the gospel message of what Jesus did on the cross,the difference between grace based salvation works based salvation, etc.

Lol I knew someone would come at me with that cancer kid thing. Truth is Ariel you don't know what its like to be me. So quit acting like its so simple and easy to deal with.

Being born again refers to a spiritual birth. We are all born flesh with a soul. The flesh in preprogrammed to survive and procreate. When we allow the flesh to guide our steps then basically life is based on comfort and pleasure for the senses and sex. When you shift your focus to pleasing God instead of the body then your eyes are opened and discover the unseen realm that has a purpose beyond our own. It's a mind shift, not just altering behaviour.

I didn't mean it when I said that I was just angry. I agree with what you're saying.

And there's that nasty attitude again. :/ You don't know Ariel very well. She is one of the most beautiful,God-loving people here.. Stop thinking that this is all about you, because it isn't.. It's about GOD. You say you want to make people happy? Prove it. Make GOD happy first. Turn to him and ask Him to make YOU happy so that you can make others happy.

LOL. Easy for you to say! Shave your eyebrows off I dare ya.

Ariel doesn't know me very well either. She has no idea what I've been through the past year and a half. She shouldn't come at me with that kind of insult.

So, tell us about it. What have you been through in the past year and a half??

I see. I'm trying to read the bible like I used to. I used to read it a lot but I've slowed down due to life issues. Prayer is something I'm working on.

Have you considered that your eyebrows might be God testing you? Sometimes He permits things into our lives to show us where our heart truly is.

If I told you, you'd probably still side with Ariel, because apparently she happens to be a beautiful little angel and no one should call her out, ever! If you want to PM tell me. I'll tell you there. I'm not comfortable saying everything on here.

Why not? No one knows you here. You are totally anonymous.

I did sista

We're in the same boat. I struggle to even read the bible, because I get so distracted after a couple of minutes. And I certainly don't pray as often as I should. So you're not alone.. Oh and btw, I could've taken offense at the shave off eyebrows/person with cancer thing, but I didn't, even though I HAVE had cancer. But I digress.. You cannot sit around and feel sorry for yourself, South. Sure you've had hard times, we all have. Right now, one or more members here are going through cancer, and the wife of one member here just killed herself. I'm not trying to minimize your hard times, but they are nothing compared to what that member is going through right now.. I want you to read some of my testimonies, and read Blain's and TemporaryCircumstance's as well. I always use her as an example because she is only 14, but has already gone through more stuff than you or I will ever go through in the rest of our lifetimes.

Just remember this: when you have hard times and you think no one understands, take a look at Jesus. HE understands. On that cross, He felt every emotion possible and then some. He knows the pain of betrayal, the sting of murder, the agony of losing a child. And with that, He doesn't want to lose YOU. I hope this puts stuff into perspective for you. *hugs*

Then someone needs to help him know what the gospel message of grace is because until your heart is changed and your motive moves from trying to earn God's love to accepting that you have been adopted and HAVE the love of GOD because of what Jesus did, you will continue to have a works based salvation instead of a grace filled walk with the Holy Spirit.

Nope. My brother and friends might make accounts on here I don't need them seeing me talk about my problems to everyone. And I'm honestly not trying to sound rude when I say that.

Would you like me to tell you what I've been through in the last year and a half? Because it's alot and I'm STILL dealing with the after effects of it, and will for the rest of my life.. As far as Ariel goes, hers is just an opinion, and as you can see, we all have one..lol..

South, you can PM me if you'd like to talk. If it's something you feel comfortable talking to a woman about, that is.. We really are trying to help you, even if some of us do sound a little harsh..
