Honey, it's just my personal belief, but God is not external. When you swell with love, when you recognize injustice, when you cringe from hate, and sob because you know you deserve better, that is God reminding that you DO know what's important and what's right, reminding you it's been there in your heart all along and never had to be learned. Focus on that. The rest is all superfluous distraction.

And by the rest, I mean religion and all its trappings. God is not there, so don't go there looking and be disappointed in not finding. *smisssssshes*

Thank you :) I've always thought about that! Growing up in a very christian family though, one thing I've been taught is that believing in something means you have to take everything that goes along with it.

But I'm glad to know someone else thinks that we can just believe in God, period. :) Thank you for the smishes as well! :))

You're welcome. How could I not smish you? My heart goes all mushy whenever I think about you being in a bad place. There just aren't enough ways to reach out. *hugs*

I feel the same way. When I stopped believing in God when I was 17, I started feeling better about myself. It was stunning and kind of sad. I feel like that's not what religion is supposed to be like.

I think the one thing you should believe in is yourself.

But besides that, Faith is something that has nothing to do with religion. It's something much more pure.

except I was still hung over for a couple years over some aspects of my past and how God could never change them because He never existed in the first place. OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

THIS IS HOW I FEEL RIGHT NOW. If God existed in the first place and while he was there all the hurt happened, then he can't change that, or something.

GOD has very mysterious ways to help & guard each & everyone of us.
So, never stop believing in HIM, because no matter how hard your life is, or how hurt you are, eventually you will realize that He never leave you even for 1 single second.
Maybe you won't realize how much He loves you now, but someday you will :)
Have a nice day ;)

Thank you.

Sometimes I still think of going back to him, and just believing in him again. I want to go back to that innocent kind of faith I had then, but when I grew up and learned to think more, and feel more, I really feel that it might be pointless. I'm hoping that someday he comes and shows me that he is there, always has been, and that one day he'll show me that joy I've always been looking for. Thank you. And you too! ave a nice day--I know work is eating you up most of the time. :))
