Evidence for God from Science

guys... I love you..

I am ashamed, im drunk.
knowingly.
yet I still cry and turn to God.
I am strong yet so weak.
so titanium but still a butterfly.
go the distance
despite the damage.
cry.
be real.
hurt
and love.
I will beat this
one day
just not today.
maybe tomorrow.

its not mine to judge
but I know its just.

That is beautiful.
Raw has its own beauty. Real honesty is something to be captured and set free. And you just did it xx

Story, your fight is not alone! Do you have - on an ONGOING basis - some mature Christians to come along side you, counsel, love you, suggest direction, give encouragement? You need this CONSTANTLY!

Where is your husband in your situation? And is he a Christian?

Praying for you, Story!

Thanks Philip

I`m chatting to the pastor(?) Father Dom at my local church, will be going to Mass regularly as soon as my ankle is stronger so there will be help and support there. I have the support of people here too.

Hubby drinks too so we are both fighting.... Is he a Christian? Kinda. He believes in God but he isn`t as committed as I am I guess.

Yeah, sometimes. And I cling on to those

It`s a work in progress, we keep trying and I keep praying.

Don't ever give up.. while you are both still breathing.. there is hope

There is always hope.
And God.

So many words, unsaid.
So many tears shed.
So much pain to watch fly away,
Starting on another day.
A heart full of love,
and hope,
and God.

A frail strength renewed,
With another prayer.
Love and wisdom abound,
A quiet resolve undiminished.
A heart full of love,
and hope,
and God.

This is what I was missing,
Trapped in a world so dark.
Searching deep within to find,
A heart full of love,
and hope,
and God.

Story: Is he a Christian? Kinda. He believes in God but he isn`t as committed as I am I guess.

Story, I think you probably know, but there is no "kinda" as to whether one is a Christian or not. THE crucial question: Does he have faith in Jesus, that is, does he believe that Jesus is Who the Bible says He is (God in the flesh!), that He did what the Bible says He did (at Calvary), that He was crucified and rose from the dead, AND has He invited Him in/asked Jesus for the forgiveness of his sins/committed himself to following Jesus? If these things are absent, then he is NOT a Christian! But perhaps he will become one. Nothing else saves - not church attendance, baptism, good deeds - NONE of these will save; ONLY faith in Jesus. Also, this does not mean a mere intellectual belief - that one believes He existed/was a historical figure. In fact, while believing that Jesus existed/said great things, one still might suspect He was/is not God, hasn't committed to Him as their Lord God - which means they aren't saved. One has either committed themselves to Christ as their Lord or not - they've either, sincerely (from the heart and mind), asked Jesus for forgiveness and invited Him in - or not. It's not and never was about what we DO, but about us having faith in what HE has done for us and accepting and embracing it!

Hopefully, you already knew these things, but I want to make sure. It's not complicated, as it's a matter of the heart and mind, but it IS absolutely crucial!

What sort of doubts might he have? Maybe we can help?

He believes Christ is who the Bible says He is but thinks a lot of the Bible isn't literal. He hasn't invited Christ into his heart and life, yet.
He won't really talk to me about it, he just says church isn't for him and he doesn't want it to take over his life.

Think jesus got moody? I mean is being moody a sin?

I dont know Christ that well through Scripture yet but I do know Him.
He is the light to my darkness.
My armour, my sword.
My Saviour.
My God.
My Father.
Creator.
My reason for being.

How can I not worship and marvel at that?

And all, because He forgives me.
and loves me enough.
to die for me.
