A Cold Hard Truth I Learned From God this Year

[jennifer_bloom]

One thing God forced me to accept is that a lot of people are going to avoid me because I follow God.

I had disabled girls reject me because I was too intelligent for then.

I had cynical people reject me because I was too optimistic for them.

I had secular people reject me because I was too religious for then.

I had liberal people reject me for being too conservative.

I had simple people reject me for being too complex.

I had fake people reject me for being too honest.

It hurts when you invest 2 or 4 weeks into a friendship and get ghosted.

I would say I got rejected by over 80% of the people I tried to be friends with in 2020 and 2021.

But God is a jealous God and will sabotage friendships He does not want me to have.

For a while I have seen your posts and skipped right through them. And recently I had a great break in my mind and in my heart. I wanted nothing more than to have time stop so that I could be alone for eternity in peace. And then I decided to pick up the book that I was given several months ago. I put on some soft gentle music and started reading the first chapter. The book brought me more peace than the 19 years I've been alive. Just in that 15-30 minute time period, I felt as calm as I have ever been. As if time had stopped moving and I was in eternity. I've been pushing aside what God wants with me and been focusing on what I want. What are my desires? What are my goals? It's NOT about me! It's about God. What does he want for me? What are the goals he's given me? I hope to find out my purpose for this life.

The book I picked up is called The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren.

I hope to see more of your posts on the Bible. I don't want to push it aside anymore. I need this in my life and I can't run away from it. Otherwise, I'll be even more broken than when I found it. Even though I've gone to church my whole life, nothing has made so much sense to me as these things.

Its too bad you are sacrificing your social life on an alter of mythology. Fairy tales aren't real.

If you want a true friend, God is enough.
