Sarah, thanks again for your heartfelt reply. i know i’m not the only one going through tough stuff. i need to be more grateful for the things i do have. i’m dying on my cross as well, to the negatives each day and know everyday i wake up is one day closer to getting to Heaven where REAL life will begin. Sin has taken over this world and the stink of it only gets worse. There is so much about this earthly existence that doesn’t make sense to me. i see people with the most beautiful teeth and i have to scrape up the money just to get mine clean after not being able to even go to the dentist for 2 yrs! i have to endure headaches due to my teeth hurting b/c i have no insurance. This is only ONE aspect that so many of us, christian or not, have to deal with. Each day i have to set my mind to something, ANYTHING which will help me see what i like about my life. i’m glad Jesus conquered whatever the “it” is b/c He’s my only reason to keep breathing…to be of service to Him and get my eyes off myself and to have them opened for the ways He will let me know He loves me. Thank you for your understanding and sharing with me. Blessings~

Trisha:I understand you,Life is unfair.it really really is.I’ve infact had to deal with similar issues myself with my siblings/family,as a result i harbour alot of rensentment and it’s a horrible heavy feeling that i have,and it destroy’s ur soul if you let it.I look at it this way,and keep telling myself I’m not going to go to hell for people on earth who care mainly for themselves.My value is much higher than that.so is yours.I’m going to do what the Bible tells me and as a result recieve my reward in heaven.I will shake the dust off my feet with ppl who have not showed me the love and respect i have deserved.I hope i have encouraged you to do the same with me.Our lives really are a mosiac that once we step back and look at it in the end it will look a whole lot different and we can look at it with peace and finally understanding…no one said life is a picnic,and defantely not if you serve the Lord..we are like sheep amongst wolves..but its okay..Jesus conquered it all at the cross.Just think Hell is eternal and so is heaven..we are only here on earth for a very short time.
God bless you Trisha.
Keep your eyes open for all the ways God will let you know today He loves you.

Sarah, thanks for caring enough to respond back to me. i hear all the time how much God loves me “more than i know” what my plea is I NEED TO KNOW HOW MUCH HERE ON EARTH! Yes He died on the cross for me and i’m more than grateful otherwise i’d never get to go to Heaven. Even when i was growing up, my younger sister was favored over me and given more love then me and it seems it just carries over to not feeling loved by the LORD when i see others receiving so much more than me. i suppose it’s a lesson in acceptance and i still love God anyway and continue on with each day dealing with what ever i’m given. Not looking for pity only understanding. Bless you.

Trish: God does not favor anyone over you.He loves you more than you know.You will fully understand this one day.Just cling unto Him..you dont see how much He clings unto you.How He has looked out for you in this world.Faith alone will bring you to Him.Faith is a gorgeous thing.In God’s eyes so are you.

My first reaction was, “why would someone WANT to get to know a God who answers one set of pleas and not thier’s?” In real life i wouldn’t want to get to know someone who was favoring one person over me. i would instead feel rejection NOT love as you say here. i guess you can decipher, my life has been the “other” script. The one where all the brokenness was never put back together, long talks with God didn’t matter. Yes, i love HIM anyway and suppose i’m the one, obviously who is only going to be favored in eternity. This makes my life here on earth very sad and discouraging to think my only hope and joy is AFTER i leave this earth. i challenge you with this question…Can you please tell me how this can possibly HELP me get through all i have to deal with NOW? is death the only thing to look forward to?
