Bible Question:
It hurts so bad... ok. maybe I'll give him up and everything(if it's wrong), maybe I just i dont know, i'm sorry, i feel so confused and im crying cuz it feels bad and I dont wanna sin and i guess i am but i love God so much, i was trying to help and then it just got personal and all and listen to my father how? what did he tell me? is a 19 year old a man? i've given out my address over the internet and they know it, they see letters from friends and all, i guess they thought the military guy was like a grown man , cuz i was talking to him about my brother who was in the military too, and he's like in his 30's , so they could've thought that and all. I would tell them everything. But I don't think they'd understand...they don't understand the way I love God and it's like, they aren't Christian, so, we don't have that sort of Christ-like bond. If I told them I was witnessing to someone and trying to show them what Jesus wants us to do and the way to live, most likely they wouldn't relate to it because they aren't that type. I would love so much to have Christian parents and I will soon, because I'm praying about getting into a church and my mother and father getting saved, but everything will be in God's time. That's why I come on here. To see what you all think, but, it's so confusing...and i just start crying and go to my room and talk to God about it some more and then i think about how i could just be babbling on and on and on and still be wrong, which you all seem to think i am which just makes me feel worse, but i am thankful that you do care, thank you so much God bless you, it's only a matter of time, i know God isn't a God of confusion and i know Satan is very well enjoying watching me go through this and seeing how far he can push me, i just hope not too far. i would say he won't, but im still sort of confused about whether he has or not, actually i think i have sinned, but i dont really know when, and how, it's all so confusing will you please help me somebody???please??? Thankyou so much. i just wanna be with God:(( i want Him to like what i do, not want me to stop, i was just trying to help...:(( well, later people. Thankyou, i dont wanna sin anymore, but what if you don't even know if you are?? ok im doing it again, sorry, God bless you all abundantly and may you find peace and joy in Christ our Lord. |
Bible Answer: Greetings Lilgirl4Christ! I think that you have received some excellent answers to your question, but allow me to respond from the perspective of a father who has been through a similar experience with his daughter. Trust your father's instincts and obey his commands in this matter. My daughter was the victim of older men who preyed on her. She has totally ruined her life. She got invovled with an older man. She has been drawn into every sin that you can name. Her very life is not at risk. Your father has been placed in your life for a reason. He is there to protect and guide you. You may not agree with or understand why he has placed these restrictions upon you, but he has done so to protect you. I understand that you want to help this other person, but your first priority as a 13 year old is to obey your father. If you have a local church, I would suggest that you talk to your pastor about this issue. We're all praying for you! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
