Christian Fellowship Community Group
A safe place for Christians who Love Jesus Christ to meet and ask for prayer and share scriptures from the bible. We value the posting of Christian music, poems, stories and also personal testimonies. Please let us know your needs, concerns and have some fun getting to know each other. We treat each other with respect.
What a powerful post. I have been there and can honestly empathize with what you've lived, what your intentions were and how you're growing.
I also love your last line, no more religion.
I agree.... to the upmost definition of the word.
Dear Lulu, I am and will pray for you..its good to share with safe people. The hurts need to b released in some matter.I used to share my pain with unsafe people who would kick me when I was down. No more..A good councellor or just asking God .I pray the holy spirit will guide you to release the pain and hurts and that you would feel Gods love and comfort. He is fully capable of healing and softening their hearts and as our hearts are softened they may so feel safe to release their pain as well! bless you.
I struggled with differentiating religion vs. faith... as I believe many struggle with. I have learned to let go of the pettiness of what religion is defined and am able to say, that is not where my trust lies, it lies in God. It in truth, it lies in love.
I am a firm believer in being able to spread God's love in other ways then just preaching (as talking about God is not yet easy for me, I feel I need to educate myself in order to stand firm against questions). It is why I humbly take the route of being able to be a witness to God's love, so that others are touched with kindness through me (God's vessel and humble servant) in order for their lives to be touched positively and feel inspired to also seek the lord.
I ask God to please help me express God's love in an eloquent manner as I feel my words (not his) are lacking direction. I have always been able to express my thoughts, intentions, and over all message in writing.. it's something I hope to translate into spoken words for the sake of those who will be touched more powerfully through conversing about this way of life that is like you mentioned, living.
May the holy spirit continue to live in each of you so you may realize your soul's potential. It is my prayer that your souls find ah ha moments and growth. God bless each and everyone of you. For you are a blessing in the lives of many, even those who you don't believe you have impacted. A simple smile, a simple act of compassion towards a stranger you will never meet again will send a ripple of positivity that will touch their hearts the way only the lord can.
God bless.
He never fails. He never grows tired. He never sleeps. He is with us always.
Religion is man-made.
True Christianity is God breathed.
I'm not knocking "religion." We all need the fellowship that is afforded through religion.
But we must not forget the Giver of Life!!
