The Guy
Ok well, this has been on my mind since this past summer, and I think writing it for the world to see is a great way to finally bring my thoughts on it to a close. First of all, before I say anything, I'm over it! Everything! You'll understand when you read to the end. Ok well, I am a teenage girl(14), and I am a new Christian. I've grown up in church my whole life, but I never really wanted a relationship with Jesus since I was 13. Anyway, this story is an example of how the devil tried to mess me up, but he failed! Ok, on with the story then...
There was this guy who basically started giving me attention. I was very self-consious and extrememly shy and I had problems with myself, so I totally fell for his cruel game. Well, he probably didn't even know what he was doing. Anyway, he started calling me "wife" and "baby" when I barely knew him...he would touch my shoulder and stuff. Well, doing that made me "fall" for him, which now I see I never did. My brother ended up telling this guy I liked him, and then things got akward. He ignored me when I was around, and it hurt. It really hurt. I prayed and prayed, but I never really gave the whole situation to God. I started to cut myself. I got into a routine of wanting to see him, but when I did I would feel miserable. It was AWFUL!!!! I told my mom what was going on and she helped me pray and gave me great advice and really comforted me. Then this guy started talking to me again, but now I hated it when he did. He was so unpredictable...one day he would like me, and the next I didn't exist. Then I found out he had a girlfriend! I was pissed and even more angry!!!! I FINALLY went to God and told the whole story to Him, and I cried it all out and worshiped Him, and I felt free. I was like, I am better than this!!! So I attempted to really get over him, but everytime I saw him my heart skipped a beat. I mean, he was really cute. But as time went on, and I prayed more, and really only thought about Jesus a lot, things got better. Soon I could see the guy without my heart going crazy. Then it just became akward. It still is. I refuse to even look at him, and when he is around me I think about not thinking about him. But then I started counseling, and I realized why I thought I fell head over heels for this guy. See, my dad has fallen away from the Lord for the past few years, and he hasn't been giving me or my brother the attention we need. So, this guy became that attention that my dad wasn't giving me. I never really like the guy, I only liked the attention. In the end I stopped cutting, thank God, and now I am better and I've moved on. It feels so GOOD not to like anyone, because now I can just focus on Jesus!!! Woosh! lol

Wow. This is the perfect example of why faith-based organisations should not be couselling anyone at all. Their 'counsellors' are merely recruiters, preying on the weak. So they told you the devil was trying to mess you up, that you were seeking attention because your Dad had left the church? These are complete and total lies. You were a bit lost, you just needed some support. You looked to your boyfriend for support, but he let you down, and you thought it was your fault. You were blaming yourself for something that was not your fault at all. Cutting yourself made you feel better because you were angry that you couldn't make him love you in the right way. Here's the thing, we don't control what other people do. If your boyfriend was cheating on you, it means he is not a good boyfriend. Everyone has bad relationships, it doesn't mean there is something wrong with you, it just means that that person is not the right person. The church wants you to think that the devil is trying to mess you up and you need God/Jesus to help you get through that, but they are only reinforcing your self-doubt for their own benefit, so the church grows. That's how the church works. I see that you are looking for support and are looking to Jesus for that support at the moment, but I hope you will learn to look to yourself for support, to say "I am doing what I think is right, to the best of my knowledge, and if people don't see that or if people don't treat me how they should, they have a problem." The church wants to tell you there is something wrong with you, that you need Jesus to fix you. I am telling you, these things that have happened are not your fault, your boyfriend was a bad boyfriend and you deserve better treatment.

god doesnt exist, it is merely a trick for the few to control the many, its a nice theory look it up on the web. as for ur situation ur a 14 yr old immature girl, who knows nothing. u think in ur head like hes the one, yet all this trouble he puts u through u still lie to urself about how he is the one, but what ur really afraid of is that you wont find anyone else in ur life, good to know ur totally over him, so move on, n next time u see him punch his gay *** in the face. PS why cut urself? loser.

god is in the eyes of the beholder...believe or not believe it's your choice but there wasn't a work of the devil in this instance...you are young..you will experience a lot of heart ache...he may have been flirting with you at first and you may have liked the attention but when he found out you liked him then he stopped...guys like to play cat and mouse..they love the chase..when they don't have to chase anymore, then it's not fun to them anymore..hence, the reason he didn't show affection towards you anymore......and as for the church, yes, they tell you that you need to be fixed by jesus so that you'll join their religion..it's a big cult...your dad is not at fault here..the devil is not at fault here...you are not at fault here...the guy is not at fault here...your brother should've minded his own business and kept his mouth shut...but it's life...someone will flirt with you and you will take it to mean something more serious then what is intended and then your heart will get broken...that's how you learn and move on and not make the same mistake twice....live and learn

excuse me but i beleive ur wrong about god he does exist in ur ******* heart and i should now im cathlic. Even tho ur young u can make ur own decisions but i always look to our father. I think the best way is to go to a father in a church and tell him about it and he will give u the right answer.

Hey gurl.. Let me tell you God is the only one who wil understand you no matter what others may say, think or do. I been through hell and back but I always trusted in Jesus to bring me through. The times that I have fallen has been because I have taken my eyes off of him.I've been Christian since i was 14 and now I'm 21. I had heart aches, bad breakups, bad relationship with my parents,gotten drunk and made many mistakes but I feel good because Jesus forgives and comforts all my hurt, pain and the sins I committed. I go to a Christian College and I'm trying to live for him to the best of my knowledge. And let me tell you there will always be ups and downs. I've been a leader and I have made many mistakes but I learn from them and that's what makes me stronger. Romans 8:28. God Bless

Wow girl you nailed it on the head! You are seeking a males attention because your dad did not give it to you. What you should do is this tell your dad what he has done to you. Let him know your ordeal and if you cant build up the words write him a letter and hand it to him. you have aknowledged your source now you need to comfront it. Pray for the courage and I agree with that other girl this isnt the work of the Devil you explained the root yourself.
