You are wrong in supposing that thw brevity of hardship depends based solely on the number of years a person yet lives/has lived - increasing from par.

No person is prepared nor can be prepared for any new thing which transpires in such a one's life. If they were prepared even at all, then there really would be no cause to be prepared, because for one to prepared for something, then such a one has experienced it or has knowledge of that thing. So if that is the case, it is not new.

Do forgive if you suppose I have spoken in an unruly manner to you, ma'am; I in no way have. I assure you when I say I have accorded & accord you with all respect & full of humility. Social media does not permit the true expression of words, therefore, even the kindest of words could come as offensive to the receiving party, all because of misreading/misinterpretation.

I am sorry, ma'am; respect has been & is being shown. I only seek that you might with an open heart come to consider my words and stop holding unto the pains you have been through (by yourself), because Ai tell you there is a comforter for all your pains & a deliverer of perfect peace into your heart - Jesus Christ, whom is the son of God

SoulSugar- Good day, ma'am. I hope you'll come to liberation with me in our converse. With respect to your years, ma'am, even I shall say - as lowly to you as I am - that you cannot come to refute that there is ALWAYS a WRING and a RIGHT (side/argument/opinion/statement). I say "...to all your years..." because this is something you know and can even be tracked out of, upon having seen & known the accords of life all your years.

Permit me as I outline two examples. If a person decides to drink poison, insisting that it wouldn't kill him/her, according to your idealogy, it would be wrong of us to stop that person, saying he/she is wrong in the statement ge/she made, because we both know the poison would kill the person.
Also, if not having to point out a person's flaw, stating it is wrong to do or believe this-that-this, though not agreeing, is the right thing, then I suppose you shall agree with me when I say that we are hypocrites then, in that we speak blatantly, in opposition to terrorists - their belief & deeds.

It is better for one to say the truth, though it might hurt for a while, than utter a lie or seal the lips, which will eventually lead the flawed party to destruction/death.

Lincoln98 thank you but I own any sins I may have committed and I have nothing to repent nor am I remotely interested in God's opinion only my own..

The heart of man is desperately wicked and deceitful above all things, and this is/was so as a result of the fall of man - disobedience of God's word, leaving us in the curse of sin. Even the mundanely-righteous man is not exempt of this - so let no one be fooled by these so-called saints/holy men, & holy pope, & holy monks, & so forth.

For the sake that our hearts are corrupted, even so, our judgement of right & wrong is widely impaired. Most times than less, we WILLINGLY choose to make the bad decisions rather than good ones, for selfish ambitions. Because of the corruption in our hearts, God instructs that we look through His own lens instead - His definition of wrong and right, which is perfectly right - repenting from our evil ways, because after life is death & then judgement to either eternal life (because these lots looked through God's lens/repented of their sins and gave their life to Christ) OR eternal death (because these lots, whilst on earth, ignored the warnings about hell & rejected the salvation of Christ, swimming in their corrupt ways)

If you have not repented of your sins, giving your life to Christ, ma'am, do so now; tomorrow is not promised. The kingdom of God is at hand....

God bless you.

When one sets to cross a road but does not notice an oncoming vehicle raging ahead, another, who has sighted this tertor, sends out a loud cry - a warning - to the former, informing him/her of the perilous danger ahead; then the latter is left in hopes that the warned individual would take heed to his words.
Just as the 'latter man', ma'am, I am just warning you of danger ahead (and directing you to it). I have not, did not, & will not force(d) my beliefs on you; I only lovingly make it known to you, with hopes that you might come to consider truth.
In my prayers will you continue to be, ma'am, just as all others.
God bless you

Lincoln no disrespect I have been through so much in my life of which you are just starting..I see everything that I have been through as lessons learnt on this life..I'm more prepared than ever for anything that transpires in my life, but thank you for your concern.you may need to look at your way of putting your beliefs over..there is too much condemnation in there for people to even begin to listen especially from one so young.

We - humans - have chosen to, & choose to, most times than less, depend on our own intellect & suppositions, and see how deep into destruction it's brought us. God's opinion, ma'am, which you, as most others, choose to reject, is truth & correct reproof; a direction to peace in life - both this & the eternal to come.

Hey Gemzaayy good to see you..

Sounds a lot like me. :) I knew I liked you.

2 peas in a pod I think justmerae.

Lincoln..I myself have got me to where I am today not God..you have no idea what I have got myself through and am more than happy to continue without God's help..No disrespect but preach to those who wish to hear it, do not push your beliefs on those who do not.

Remember the visit and coffee at the farm.
You picked an ornament for the Christmas tree.
Always on the same address
Gmail wouldnot work yours
