It is truly wonderful to see other Christians, to read and hear about how faithful they are. The world is a crazy place, and Christians aren't exactly a majority... I sometimes wonder if some of the atheists that I know think that I'm a bit crazy for believing in the Holy Trinity.
Probably some. I'm a bit worried that, eventually, people like us will be rejected even here in America.
But seeing people like you chooks and ducks, believing so strongly and openly, really helps to remind me that Christianity will never die out. Satan can try as hard as he wants to, but there will always be believers.
And that really does help. I'm not the perfect Christian, not even close, but I try to be thankful and to remind myself when I'm worried that God is there, watching over me.
God bless you all with strength and faith.

Father God forgive me of all my sins.
Jesus, I believe you are the son of God and You died on the cross and rose again and I ask you to come into my heart and save, deliver, and set me free. I don't want to live for the devil no more. I don't want to live for me no more. I want to live for you Jesus. Thank you Jesus for saving, delivering, and setting me free.

@Loopeend says: God does not make all parents love their children. He clearly does not. That is what I mean by "I see people that need to ask (beg) JC if he will die for their sins"

I do not know if Loopeend is still with us. If she is

Loopeend is still here and not among the dead

I do not have anything to say really. I'm just processing stuff you (guys) say to me. I have finally a home after months of being homeless. The stranger; a woman that took me in; kept en keeps saying she is doing the work of Jesus. She acts like how she thinks Jesus would be. She is angry that.. mmm... ok. I am 34 a woman and attractive. A lot of male friends that I could stay with; wanted stuff...because they gave me a roof... I denied, they got angry. She took me in out of anger; because that is not what Jesus would do. He gives love; without expecting a "favor". Like how you describe my relationship with animals. I give them love; but I do not expect anything back. I like the feeling of making other people/animals happy. Or something.

But I am still confused. Confuzzeled. Is this then that Jesus person what I feel now? I do not know still; if I have felt Jesus. But this stranger woman that wants me to feel the love of Jesus; it helped. I think I felt the love of Jesus through another person. And I guess that's okay too? Atleast I felt love. From her as a person, ánd through her from Jesus. Double-love. Buy 1 get 2nd for free.

I'm glad that you've found a place!
And I'm really, really, glad that you're okay, too! Those male friends... I'm not going to ask for details, but... I'm not at all happy with them, either. If they're friends of yours, then they shouldn't ask for "stuff" from you! A friend should be willing to help a friend, to lend them a roof, out of concern for that friend -- not because they want something in return! That's not friendship -- that's a person using someone else for their own gain!
I am very happy that someone took you in! That woman is a kind, kind soul, and I would love to give her a huge hug for what she's done. May the Lord bless her!

"friends". I meant friends, strangers, care-takers, and whatever. I was warned for it by fellow sok.cial workers... but it is true. You are not safe as a homeless woman. I tried to not say it so directly due to it being an all-ages forum. And an U.S. forum. But I guess that's a bit dumb. Because unfortunately it is the truth as a woman; if you have nothing, creepy creepers see a chance.. blergh! Better hear that young how life unfortunately works nowadays. Because parasites blossom out of nowhere if they smell a chance... yuk.

I'm now just going to talk about my life because I do not have many people to talk to; I have my dad left, and.. 1 friend living 2 hours away, 1 friend living close but is on a lot of drugs, 1 friend from here BYC from U.S., 1 friend in the U.K... because geez.. the word "homeless" is like you are gross.. my doctor even dumped me after that word because she thought I wanted to go to a psychologist to get drugs to sell to other people or something? Because homeless? I have never done drugs =/ It is a bit hard to be homeless while you are a goody-two-shoes, sleeping in the same room with homeless people that come for their methadone shots..
I'm actually really proud of my self that I have not gone on the wrong path all those 5 months. My teeth are rotten.. I never consume sugar; somehow hand-outs in the homeless-shelter is ALL sugar.. my teeth were not happy. But still proud. I stayed myself; did not let myself be tempted to different roads. I think you will understand what as an woman next to drugs "a road" is.

And I will hug her for you. She will like my hug; but even a hug from you that she does not know, and Jesus is involved. A triple-hug She will love it. If she is in a really weird bad mood; she thinks she is Jesus. Maybe she is not lieing. Just wording it weird.

hugs to you Loopeend, glad you are still with us! I think of you often! And I am so happy you are in a safe place. It sounds safe anyway, with a woman who wants to protect you from men who wish to take advantage of you. I want you to know that it is not "gross" to be homeless. Unfortunate, yes, but I am one who has been there. I had a husband who died and then I had no income. I had to find a way to support myself and it was very difficult. I was able to take care of a disabled person and live in their home. I did this for many years. I had no home of my own but was able to do this for several people, one at a time. I was a live-in care-giver. I did not make much money, but I had a roof over my head and my own bedroom, and my meals were provided. I was safe. It was not much but it was enough. It was what I needed at that time. So I do not think badly of people who are "homeless." It can happen to anybody. The people who hired me needed my help, and I needed them. We both got a blessing from it. Nobody decides to be homeless.

I also remember the food that was given to me from food charities. Most of it was horrible. Once I was given a 25-lb bag of mostly rotten onions. I received a big box of sugary cereal. I wanted Grape-Nuts or oatmeal but they did not have healthy foods like that. I got a 10-lb bag of marshmallows! You could not get bath soap, shampoo, laundry soap or toilet paper. You can't buy those things with food stamps. It's humiliating. I'm glad you are being treated with kindness. And I would say yes, this woman is showing you the love of God. God can only show you His love through the kind actions of the people around you. Please enjoy it and know that He does love you, very much! May good things continue to come your way! ❤❤❤

I feel so much for you. But it is often so weird that the US is not the Netherlands. There is no thing to "live-in" to take care for someone (while I have the degrees). We live so close on top of each other.. it is just not a thing. Nanny's also not. In Croatia they do; rural parts. They build a house; with an appartment on top so a care-raker could live there. But over here you can't be alone anywhere! So crowded.

I am interested in how those food-stamps work. We have a system and if you are poor you can go once a week to pick up a box of food. It is mainly frozen french fries...by the gallons.. and stuff supermarkets donated that went out of the shelves.. and you can't do anything with it... really fancy cups for making coffee..but you also need that expensive coffeemachine to be able to use it :') (and for those gallons of french fries you also need a frieing machine...)

I have never been able to use it. Because when I got sudden epilepsy at age 27.. you had to be older then 28 OR be younger and have a child...and now I am homeless and you need an adress for it... =/ The rules are dumb. How does that stamp stuff work? What I have seen on TV... it does not work either. You have to stand in line? (U.S. shows/movies over here might not be how U.S. actually is)

Thank you for your/His love.

You go to a government office and fill out paperwork that explains why you have no money and cannot get a job. If you qualify for the food stamp program they give you a thing like a credit card. Then you go to thr grocery store and buy food and pay for it with the card. The government decides how much you can spend each month. A single woman does not get as much as a woman with children. And there are certain foods you can't buy. Like you can buy milk and fruit juice, but not soda pop or candy. They only want you to buy food that is reasonably healthy. It has been years since I got food stamps and that is how I remember it anyway. You could buy some junk food I think but they were pretty careful about it. You can't buy liquor or cigarettes of course. And you have to fill out the paperwork every three months. You really have to convince them you can't get work for a good reason. I'm not sure but I think you might need a doctor's note or else signed notes from employers saying you tried to get a job but they aren't hiring. You have to prove you are looking for work, I think.

You are so right about that ! Here are some Scriptures to support that:

Hebrews 8:12 KJV
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

Here is what God says He will do with our sins:

Micah 7:19 KJV
He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

And my absolute favorite:

Psalm 103:12 KJV
As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

Now you just can't get any farther than that! You can measure how far north is from south, but you can't measure east from west! God erases our sins from His hard drive. He has burned them up, praise Him, thank You, Jesus!
