In trying to keep a long story short, Ive always tried to love, understand and be patient and forgive.
The thing is, this leads to many who will walk all over me and take advantage .
Most of the time it has not mattered, but there are some who have really been just stomping on me for far to long, and are now doing things to hurt my daughter as well.
Im trying right now to figure out if Jesus is teaching me to just keep forgiving, or its time to take a stand against the things they are doing.
Please pray I will be open to doing all that is God's will in this, to continue to forgive, but stand against their acrtions.
Also pray my heart will not be hardened against them, or become judgemental or prideful.
Please also pray for my daughter, as she has been hurt deeply by these cruel works and their words.

Thankyou all so much
in Jesus, God bless

You know sister by your comment about the being cruel I would think that it would be time to put these type of people from you. It is sad that whatever the situation, it is affecting your daughter also.
I think that your loving kindness shows the condition of your heart and sadly people like to take advantage of kind souls like you.

I really think that deep down inside you know what to do.

I will say a prayer for you and your daughter that the Lord will give you guidance and direction in this matter.

God Bless You Sister Pickles!

Pickles, I can't even imagine how sad this must be for you to say this...:(

It's amazing how much we're willing to tolerate for ourselves, but once our children are affected, we begin to think differently.
Which makes me wonder...is this how the Father feels about us?

I seek the Lord for wisdom for you, and that you will know that you know that you know it's from Him.♥

love,
ellie
 
may the Lord give you wisdom and grace. you shall not be confused, but shall know what to do at all times. it is well with you in Jesus name. Amen
 
Will pray for you and your daughter Pickles. I was in a similar situation with my family. My Mom was picked on by our neighbors for something she truly believed in and loved. It somehow rolled onto me at school where kids would throw rocks at me and treat me badly. It is never easy, but the Lord uses these to teach us ways to become stronger.
 
Pickles, I have had the same trouble.
The people who were cruel, would run to me when they needed help.
Which told me that if they truley ment all their cruel words and actions,
they would not come to my door step in their time of need.

If they are not happy with their life, they are just trying to steal your joy!

Don't give up keep praying

One of the women who use to be mean,
gave me a gift out of kindness.

She has had a change of heart.

Glory be to God in the highest!

Praying with an understanding heart!
Love and hugs...your friend Shekaniah :)
 
I figured there was a reason God put you on my mind to pray for. You know the good thing about that is? HE put you in my heart to pray for so he is aware of everything my friend and he is your defender against everyone. Sometimes as Christians we are persecuted for no good reason at all. That is the devil working through them to harm you. Once you see him behind the actions of others it is very easy to forgive them. If they are not saved people and they are acting out like this just remember that they do not have Jesus inside of them so pray and ask that he bless them or use what you are going through to win their souls. I know you will be just fine and so will your daughter because both of you are tucked against Gods sides *grinz* I am sorry you are going through this. I know God will guide you and give you all the wisdom that you need. I have kept you in my prayers and will continue to. If you want to email me and share I'll share back and maybe both of us can help the other see from different perspectives. May our Lord lift you up and fill you with his complete peace and comfort and your baby also. Lots of love and prayers and blessings coming you way Miss Pickles.
 
A person can be loving, forgiving, graceful, gentle, but still be strong in character, from Matt 11v28-30:

'Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.'

The Greek word for 'meek' here is 'praios' (Strong NT:4235), it is also used in the Septuagint in Num 12v3, where it states 'Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.' It is translated in the following ways, meek, gentle, humble, mild, however, our English translations all the miss the full meaning from this Greek word, it not only means 'gentleness of character' but also 'strength of character', so, it refers to one who is BOTH 'gentle and strong in character.'

This strength of character can be seen demonstrated in both the lives of Moses and the Lord Jesus, Moses in dealing with Pharaoh and the Israelites who rebelled against God in the Wilderness and the Lord Jesus in dealing with the Scribes and Pharasees. And the gentleness in the Lord Jesus in dealing with sinners and His disciples and in Moses in his gentle treatment of God's people Israel...

So, be gentle, but also be strong, when you know something is wrong or someone is trying to walk over you and your family and take advantage of you, stick up for yourself and be strong!

Yahweh Shalom...
 
You know not long ago I woke up and prayed to please just give me a day of no fighting with someone and I had been reading Psalms chapter 34 when I bowed my head and prayed asking God to please just fight my battles today because I was just weary....when I opened my eyes to start reading this is my God answering me and I know know know it applies to you because I was in the restroom and the thought kept coming back to me to come post these verses for you honey.

Psalms Chapter 35

1 (A Psalm of David.) Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.

2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.

3 Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.

4 Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.

5 Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase them.

6 Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them.

7 For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.

8 Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.

9 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation.

10 All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?

11 False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.

12 They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.

13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.

14 I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.

15 But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:

16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.

17 Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.

18 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.

19 Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.

20 For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.

21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.

22 This thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.

23 Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.

24 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.

25 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.

26 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.

27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

28 And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.
 
Thankyou all so much for your prayers and encouragement in Jesus, I trully needed the comfort you all have brought me and the help from Jesus.
This has been going on for more than three years and I am weary.
Please continue to pray, as I just dont want my heart to harden against any.

Jb and bekah,thankyou, the scriptures and psalms you all have shared trully do speak to how I have felt and what is needed in Jesus.
The hope of going through it all has been in Jesus, that He will reach the hearts of these people.
I just keep telling myself that the battle has already been won by Jesus. :)

Shekaniah,I know you understand the pain when our children are attacked, it hurts when they suffer for us.
And you are correct, they always show up when they need, but that is why we keep faith and serving Him. :) For His glory!

:) Good news , for my daughter, a settlement she was hopeping for came through today, and she is grinning from ear to ear as she was able to buy a new laptop for herself.
Her old laptop had been lost to a destructive virus.

:):):) She is also getting baptised not this sunday, but the next.:):):)
My joy is that despite all the disabuilities, struggles and pain she lives with, she has moved from the anger of her suffering, to trusting and loving Jesus.
Thankyou all who have prayed for her over the last few years and reciently, to know she now is God our Father's daughter, brings me everything any mom could hope for.

Hugs and thankyou all for your prayers and love in Jesus. :)
Thankyou Jesus! for all your love and care!

God bless

Luk 15:7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
Luk 15:10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

Praise God!!!:D

Baptisms and weddings! :)

They make you remember the great love from the beginning, just in case it's slipped your mind. ;)
I pray your daughter's baptism will bless many!
To the glory of our God. ♥

God loves you sis, he never leaves you nor forsakes you, I'll be praying for you also
 
Pickles,
You may be the only Jesus that these people ever see and by your good work you may bring some of them to know him. What you have done is glorified your father in heaven because they may be mean out of their jealousy but they know they can come to you in time of need and that is letting your light shine before men. That being said Jesus was kind to everyone but he did not let people walk all over him. Make sure the people who come to you for help do it in a way that is respectful to you. Let them know that you do not mind helping them but they must respect your boundaries. If they do not respect you send them away until they come back in respect and they will learn may be not from you but at some point in their life the understanding should sink in. If no one ever makes them accountable for their actions they will never truly understand how wrong it is. If you let them wear you down emotionally then you become an easier target for the evilone do not let this tactic work on you .Keep the Bible near and go to it reread the scripture that has already been given to you and and honestly let yourself hear what God is saying to you about what you are going through. God talks to us through our emotions just as the evilone does we must learn to go to his word and find the answer to what he wants us to understand. When you read something that fits what you are going through and you get that light bulb feeling you know you have heard gods answer.

Praying for you
