I'm new here. A bit about me!

Ytreneo was the name I used for the main character of a fictional story I started writing as a younger girl.

I'm nearly 21 now, I think I've been saved all my life but a professing Christian since I was 16. I long to serve the Lord faithfully through the gifts He gave me, but ultimately I just want His companionship. I believe that we will be with Him forever, and the darkest places we go to in life, even when it feels like we are living in opposition to Him in, we are walking hand in hand with Him. All glory to Jesus, He has suffered and conquered every named trial, even death, so that all we need now do is believe.

I'm thankful for the trials because it shapes who I will be, but if anyone wants to pray, I would ask for patience, love and hope to walk commendably before Him and not immaturely. And wisdom for the journey.

I am expectant for better days ahead and am glad about my brothers and sisters who journey alongside me in my difficulties. I pray you would also overcome and walk in patience towards the Lord, and in love.

Thanks for letting me share, and may God bless, deliver, and pour out His love, wisdom and goodness on every soul that reads this message. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Please tell me anything! I love Scripture and biblical theology, ancient history, theological discussion and mysteries, prayer requests, hearing about testimonies, hearing and learning from other's experiences no matter how common or strange - I love growing in knowledge about everything to do with our walk of faith. And in general, I love communing and chatting with brothers and sisters in Christ! No biases or judgement, just want to hear your thoughts. If you want to contact me directly to talk or pray I would love to, so please reach out.

Hi Ytreneo, Welcome, while reading your post my mind went to:

Proverbs 3:5



5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;

Love, Walter and Debbie

Beloved of the Lord, blessings and welcomings!

Welcome.

"I believe you have acquired some spiritual soundness for such a young age.
A spiritual companionship with God would explain this.
Bless you."

Hello and a hearty Big Welcome to you. Hope that you find the forums a good place to get encouragement. Don't be put off by the occasional grump, there are lots of lovely people here worth sticking around to fellowship with. Looking forward to having your input on the forums.

massively important today: 2nd Chronicles 7:14- "if my people which are called by my name, shall humble themselves & pray, & seek my face & TURN from their wicked ways, THEN will I hear from heaven, will forgive their sin & will heal their land"! what i call a "revealing verse": Romans 8:16- "for the Spirit itself BEARETH WITNESS with our spirit that we are the sons of God"! (when someone becomes born again, the Holy Spirit enters your life & lives with you forever). here's what many people are missing today, even some Christians: 2nd Timothy 2:15- "STUDY to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not be ashamed, RIGHTLY dividing the word of truth". a huge subject is eternal salvation. imagine not knowing you are saved. i met supposed Christians who don't know if they're saved! how can that be? 1st, what's the sense in being saved if you don't know you are permanently eternally saved? what sense does it make to be saved, lose your salvation & be saved again? what were you saved from the 1st time? nothing is the answer! & the Bible doesn't teach anywhere to be saved multiple times. i was talking to 2 catholic women about this & they both thought that you are saved by doing good works & you never know if your saved. so i said, "how many works do you have to do to be saved'? 'we don't know". who's going to tell you you have to do more or you've done enough"? "we don't know" what if you were in your hospital bed dying of a terminal sickness & the priest came by & said you have to do 376 more good works, how are you going to do it"? "we don't know" so i taught them Ephesians 2:8,9,10- "for ye are saved by GRACE thru faith & that NOT of yourselves, it is the GIFT of God, AND NOT OF WORKS lest any man boast, for we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works which God hath BEFORE ordained that we should walk in them"! blessings to you Ytreneo!

Based on your introductory post I believe that you are going to fit right in here. Glad to have you join our community. Welcome to CC.

Thank you so much for sharing your testimony with us.

"...learning from other's experiences no matter how common or strange - I love growing in knowledge about everything to do with our walk of faith."

2 Chronicles 7:14

Hi and welcome to CC!!! You are way ahead of many younger people I know in wisdom, so you're actually doing very well. We'll always be learning and growing in the Word as I've come to realize. I think you'll find an interesting array of topics to join in on when you're ready😊 God bless & keep you always🙏!

Welcome, @Ytreneo ! I’m glad you’ve decided to join this great fellowship of believers, and I can already tell you’ll be a blessing. Lifelong faith is probably the best testimony one can ever share.

Welcome to CC, dear sister. Thank you so much for that wonderful testimony!
