Hades was originally created for Satan and his demons, not for humans. Try praying to God, you might discover that he exists and he loves you. What's the harm in trying?

Only till we seek him with our whole heart will we find him, He said knock and it shall be opened, seek and you shall find, we must seek his face, not like the world does, but genuinely . Bless you sister and may he give you peace and joy for your
soul and reveal himself to you and his purpose and love

"WHO" do you believe more ? God or yourself?
"WHOs words are you listening to more? Gods or your own?

if you don't know Gods word, you have nothing to compare "your" truth with .. I challenge you to compare your truths to Gods word .. See if it matches up ..

secondly , if you don't know the thoughts God has towards you, you have nothing to compare your thoughts too ..
If your thoughts are the only thoughts you choose to Listen too? then you are short changing yourself to know anything better ..

Is anything that has been said sinking in? Is any of it helping you grow in self-awareness and in your knowledge of God? Or have you come here to state things that you don't know about, and don't desire to know? If you truly desired to seek God then you would do so earnestly, and with good counsel. I am questioning your intentions and sincerity. There has been many wise and kind comments to your post, and it appears that you have not taken any into consideration. You are choosing your mindset and stubbornness, we can only say so much. Ultimately, it is up to you.

Some of it's sinking in.

But the whole 'God loves/cares about you' I can't believe.

2 Peter 3

8But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.9The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
He is long suffering

He's told me nothing. I've asked, I got nothing. I believe but I still have nothing from him to prove he cares. So how do you expect me to feel?

He will show He cares about us when we show that we care for one another.

Have patience.

Why not show Him that you care?

I've been waiting for over 6 year and I'm giving him more then 3 years left, I don't think I can be anymore patient than that.

And I do show him that I care but I'm doing it less and less because he's not showing anything for 6 years.

Dekote, what exactly has happened in your life that gives you that idea? Could you give us a hint?

Well, since you have a time limit on the situation why not dedicate yourself more and more during that time?

Dekote, you are right. If God cared why do you feel so dirty? If God cared why is there so much hate in this world?

I was one evening in a sqautter camp in Zamdela (South Africa), and the head of the mean gang asked me, IF YOUR GOD IS A GOD OF LOVE, why IS THERE SO MUCH VIOLANCE in the WORLD? I had no answer for him but this...

When he asked me the question, I noticed he had three marawanah,,, cigarettes in his top pocket, and they were rolled with pages from an English bible. Then I heard the words..... BECAUSE WE DO NOT PRAY TOGETHER.... come from my mouth. And I said to him, before you roll the next joint, will you read the page of the bible you want to tear out?

He did, and today that man is a Pastor with Campus Crusade in South Africa.

Decote the first thing I knew about God was the same you feel.... DIRTY. And the only reason i felt DIRTY, was because God was starting to work on me. So my dear friend, that worhless and dirty and undeserving life feeling you have is GOD'S calling to you that YOU NEED NOT TO BE PART OF THIS WORLD.... He will LEAD you to be a person that you love, and then you can love others as yourself....

I ask the same... How can I love you, if I hate myself? But God changes that... He changes us all into the image of Jesus, and that is love PERFECT!

Welcome to the disciple clan of GOD. I see we are going to be Sister and Brother soon. And Jesus HIMSELF will call us brother and sister and NOT BE ASHAMED TO CALL US THAT... How great would that be SISTER?

Dekote, God gives us a gaurentee... He says come CLOSER to God and He will come CLOSER to you. I yet have to find the Bible lie to me. Everything in the Bible is TRUE. Jesus said come to me you who are heavy laden and I will give you rest.

My dear freind, HE DOES! I was EXACTLY where you are today, and that is a GOOD thing. When I started to read the Bible I KNEW God was with me and He started to explain/reveal and SHOW me HIS WORD. And then I got to know what TRUE LOVE is.

My advice is the same... READ your BIBLE as often as you can, AND GOD gaurentees HE WILL COME CLOSER TO YOU!

Satan was a mistake
Hitler was a mistake
Adam and Eve were huge mistakes
This planet was a mistake
Hades is a mistake
I'm a mistake

The only way those weren't mistakes is if he knew and thought it would be fun.
Mistakes with a purpose. We are all broken pottery. The only alleviation from this most horrid of diseases is being drenched in the blood of Christ.

Read through this:

2 Corinthians 7

[SUP]6 [/SUP]Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus;
[SUP]7 [/SUP]And not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season.
[SUP]9 [/SUP]Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.
[SUP]10 [/SUP]For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you.

Hunny :( I don't really know you. But you are indeed LOVED by God. You are HIS child. You are not a mistake. But this really breaks my heart that you are calling yourself a mistake. I will pray that God intervenes and somehow shows you his LOVE for YOU in a special way soon. You are special to HIM. Sometimes, I wonder the same things about why God would create someone he knew would doubt him so much. :/
What is it that makes you think this user is a child of God? See any traces in his posts of it?
