Hello to anyone reading this. I came here to seek guidance and answers of sorts. I was raised Christian most of My life, I actually just returned to My faith. I believe in God, no question there. What I'm mainly trying to figure out is My place so to speak. For the past year I have done nothing but hurt the people I love when all I've been working to do is help them. I'm just having a hard time with this... I'll go more into detail if anyone would like to know. I'd really appreciate some feedback because I am so lost right now. Thank you.

Most of us are trying to figure out our place. There are many residents in this community who would be more than happy to listen to you and offer wise counsel. We all were lost at one time but now, with God's saving grace, we are found. Welcome to CC.

Why here? Have you not read through many of our posts? This is not meant to sound funny; it is to simply say that this place doesn't really score too high in the guidance and answers department.

What have you already discussed with leaders in your own church?

I've read many of the posts on this website, it's all very comforting and brings Me peace of mind for the most part. I've been asked not to return to My Church... I know the family that runs it and we're having a financial dispute, and they are angry with Me and have asked that I don't return.. But this website can act as My daily reminder to remain with God, to remind Me to stay good so to speak.

This can be a place for guidance, but you shouldn't take EVERYTHING people say seriously.
Make new friends, and don't forget to have fun also. Welcome. :)

#1 Discover your strenghts.

Think back to when you were a child. What were some of your favorite things to do? Did You care for injured animals, love to draw pictures, or delight in playing with friends? Now think of those traits manifest themselves in your life today. Do you still collect "strays"__ animals or people? Do you express yourself artistically through decoracting and Creating? Do you love to fix broken things? Do you enjoy opening your home to family and friends?

Gods purpose for your life can be found in the passions and dreams he gave you. Use them to the fullest by devoting time and energies to the things you already love. Begin Today. > Make a list of your strenghts,gifts,and talents. Write down the ways you are using your strengths in the task you perform daily. ( Some Food for thought) .

P.S. Welcome to CC

I try to care for others. In small ways or even bigger. Every time I try to help though things go wrong... I end up being labeled terrible things, people cut Me out of their lives. Including the ones who have taught Me to be Christlike. That's part of the reason I'm so lost. The thing that I am passionate about hurts people.

If you know who you are in Jesus Christ with jesus you wont let others label you . Rebuke it . If people cut you out of their lives that is their personal problem . For those to be christlike to do that. Then are they being christ like? Dont let these actions of others misguide you. I pray that your eyes will see and your ears will listen a little deeper than carnal talk. As For Jesus will use people as insturments . Let us not forget that our enemy can and will do the same. we just need to realize and have acknowledgement of discerment !

I pray that My hurting of others has a greater purpose behind it fueled by the Lord. I know My greatest achievements and lessons have come from others hurting Me.

Put away from you all bitterness and wrath and anger and wrangling and slander, together with all malice. Eph 4:31

Is bitterness keeping you from finding and fulfiling God's purpose in your life? You have the power to get rid of bitterness and at the same time experience joy . When you Have an unburdened Heart, you give God fertile ground in which to work.

People who caused you pain at some time may be long gone, and yet that pain has strayed in your heart as bitterness. But you can decide to let go of that bitterness. Ask God to unblock yoour heart. He will give you a fresh start , and you will be free to pursue the plans he has for you.

I hope and pray this helps for as i am typing this for you it is also a reminder and helping me!!!!!!!!!

A it sounds like youre around the wrong folks. There are so many churches and home study groups ...walk away from people that you have problems with ...there are billions of people in the world dont get hung up on being excepted by everyone it is impossable in fact the bible says bewere when all likes you and you have no enemys....Jesus was crucified. ...if God was disliked He said you are not above youre master ....time is too short to try to be everyones friend ....just keep serching for people with commen interest and enjoy being around

When I care for someone it runs deep. I have a hard time with letting go. I'm working on learning how to let go and not let others define Me. My heart is in a good place.
