What if

[Joffre Vivoni]

We Christians are always trying to write blogs about our strengths. We always want to be with a smile and believe everything is well. What if we needed encouragement, can we write a blog asking for help?

The wonderful thing about blogs is that we may not be intimidated with the fear of what others may think about you. There is no face to put two and two together and make you an item of gossip; or for people to look down on you. Can we have a blog where people can go just to take things out of their minds, a place where you can just be you. Just a thought =-)

Hi Joffre. I think you just did. And that is fine. Maybe sometimes we all need a moment to just vent. At times we all hurt. And we all have our turn in the barrel so to speak. There are times when we offer each other encouragement and times when we just listen. But the wonderful thing about being a Christian and being around other Christians is we pray for one another.

I have a situation at work where I want to do the right thing, but I'm not sure what the right thing is, so I am asking the Lord not only to direct my steps, but to open the right door or close the wrong one. So while I know if I die this moment, I will be with the Lord, I still need His guidance and wisdom day by day, moment by moment.

So it's okay if you have something you want to vent or verbalize, I will pray with you and for you.

I pray your day is awesome.

Mark

I like internet discussion groups because you can freely express your thoughts, I used to do this with writing. I agree that it is difficult to admit our weaknessess, but 2 Cor 12 vs 10 says: "Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong."
There is the other aspect of the internet where we really do not know who we are communicating with, like we do with someone in person. So I do have to feel comfortable before sharing my weakness, even on the internet. 2 Cor 1 vs 4 says that God comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
