So sorry that you are feeling this way Fluffy, I cannot imagine anyone hating you in your life away from this forum. I have often hated myself and journeyed through many wondering paths where I lacked assurance that
things would knit together. Maybe those ‘ little paths ‘ still beckon to me at times……whenever you are low, remind yourself that you are a daughter of the king. It helps me when I am feeling insignificant in this world, judging myself or circumstances lead me to think all kinds of things about myself.

I don't mean to be mopey, but I feel so awkward and uncomfortable like I am a burden and not supposed to be here. I feel really hated and I just want God's reassurance that He is in control and has a plan.
I love your picture. It touches me.

Just so you know that you aren't alone, I have felt this way my entire life. I take comfort from what our brother Paul said.

Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 2 Corinthians 5:20

Right now, I am focused on "ambassadors," which strongly implies something related to how you and I feel, I think. If you think about it, an ambassador is an official representative to a foreign country. Thus, if Paul was an ambassador of Christ to the entire world, then Paul considered the world itself to be a foreign country.

That's how I feel about it. I don't belong here, but I AM here with a job to do. Living in this world is like living in a foreign country, with all kinds of strange customs and thought patters that I must suffer, while I attempt to minister to them.

Right?

Anyway, I get lost in thought sometimes. And sometimes it takes me awhile to find my way home again. :)

Follow my voice. :)

I missed seeing this yesterday. I am also praying for you, dear beloved sister in Christ. Consider this:

"But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble." Psalm 59:16

And this:

"Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." Psalm 30:4-5

Aw Fluffy,
Both you and I have similar issues and thoughts about ourselves, neither am I very comfortable in my own skin and seem invisible to most. Even in the church.
It's a battle, for sure. Sure would be nice to know what His plan are for our lives but, then faith would be for nothing. I too take comfort (sometimes much aggravation too, lol) in my 3 mini schnauzers. There is as least life in the house and I prayed many, many years back to one day HAVE 3 of them and, I did not remember that until a bit after adopting the 3rd. It was a WOW moment. So, His timing is perfect but, with the more important issues like, our trials, sadness, tears, and fear are much more difficult to see through. I too am going through something that might throw me over the edge, literally but, I take comfort in the fact that my family and Christian friends are praying and, on my part...TRUST.
I do hope you will find comfort in the fact there are many here who love you, you and I have not had much interaction on here but then, I don't post a whole lot either.
God bless and keep you in His comfort sister.

Put those hands up and let the praises with thanksgiving unto the Lord begin ....
To HE we owe all .

What made a big difference in my life, and has given me confidence, is putting more focus on "obedience" in my relationship with the Lord. There was a time I tried to be his friend, without giving much consideration to doing things his way.

Hello, you are welcome here and God has shown you His great love. Also the body of Christ, which are the brothers and sisters around the world, who love Jesus, also do not think you are a burden. Please know this.

I understand these kinds of negative thoughts too.

Dear Jesus, please help this person to know that they are welcomed and loved and accepted. Please help them to learn and keep growing in Your Grace Lord. Thank you for having them here with us and please bless them today. We pray that in Jesus' name. Amen.
