As hard as it seems right now you did the best thing. This man didn't respect you at all. Yes God does have a better plan for you but in his time not yours. Keep the faith and he will carry you through this...K

Are you speaking of Mary?  She only had one child that was killed as you say "for the Love of mankind". Most of us show her great respect. She knows great emotional pain. She is the blessed one. She is the Theotokos.

Ahh one of the timeless questions:Its simple really,you can't really know,you may ask her but i doubt she will express her true emotions(as only strong emotions break the surface the rest kinda just stay hidden),all you can do is put yourself out there by telling her your emotions and pray to God you won't end up with a 2 mm hole in the heart(small yes,painful hells yeah).

You took the words right out of my mouth. I am about to split myself. Like you I feel blessed to encourage others but it's like you get slapped in the face for it. It stings after a while.  I hate to get rattled up but you can't help it. So you need and iron backbone to stay focused on God in this forum. Stay on it if it's God's will since you have a link here to help others. It's better to leave the 99 and go after the one. Wait, there may be one Saul that you may lead to a Paul for God's glory through your blessed link.

Agreed with the 2 people before me. He never fails. I was in a low point in my life and I heard the word and how much he loved me when I was so unlovable. Anything I could do wrong I did in the sight of others But the Lord overlooked all my faults and failures and loved me. When I think about the extremes God went through just so that I could be here on earth. He created everything for you and me.God is a permanent solution to your problem, everyone will always fall short.I couldn't face myself in the mirror even though I am beautiful on the outside complements could not pull me up out of the pit of depression and then that's when I found a relationship with Jesus and he will touch your heart and give you peace and inner beauty and with the love that he has for you will help you face another day.

The Israelites were born into their religion, but others could be proselytized in.  I think they had forgotten that they could be a good influence to other nations.  They were in a time of famine, and Naomi's family went to Moab to live.\n\nNaomi's sons and husband died, leaving her two daughters-in-law, Ruth and Orpah.  Naomi had nothing to offer them and tried to send them back to their families so that they could be cared for.  Orpah went, but Ruth, a Moabitess, took on the role of caring and providing for Naomi and vowed to follow her back to Naomi's native Israel.\n\nShe didn't expect to be taken care of.  She worked to provide for Naomi, who was (understandably) bitter from her losses.  \n\nThrough the providence of God, Ruth ends up working for Boaz, who is the sort of leader Jesus talks about in the NT, he clearly cares for his workers, and they respect and care about him.  He sees this foreign woman gleaning in his fields and instructs his workers to be respectful of her and to leave extra for her to gather.  He is impressed with her for working to support Naomi, whom he is distantly related to.\n\nIn the course of time, Naomi realized Boaz's interest in Ruth and sends her to him.  He vows to go to the nearest of kin - who has a right to redeem the family property and to marry Ruth and raise children in her husband's name - and see if he is willing to provide for her.  The next of kin is not, so Boaz takes on this responsibility and marries Ruth.\n\nIt's a glimpse into their life and culture and customs, but it also shows several important things about love, honor and grief.  Naomi is not so bitter in her loss that she stops looking out for Ruth's interests.  Ruth takes care of Naomi when she could have gone back to her family, remarried and had an easy life.  Boaz is kind to his workers and honorable in his dealings with his kinsman and Ruth.\n\nIt shows how God works in the lives of people in non-miraculous ways.  It also shows part of the lineage of Christ.  There is much that could be learned from the book, but the link to Christ is probably the most significant aspect of the book.

There is always a reason, even though you may not see it at first. I am going through this situation, and it is a living hell...BUT, I do know why God had me fall for this guy. If I hadn't talked to this guy and let him get to know me, the guy wouldn't have seen my need for the Lord, and he wouldn't have invited me to church. Now I have accepted Christ as my savior and am repenting of my past life. I am still feeling immense heartache over not being able to have this guy, but if I didn't have Jesus in my life I'd probably have killed myself long ago. For real...this guy hurt me that bad.

Hey I don't really have advice for you as you know from answering my question I have marital problems. BUT.... We did get this book called Rekindling the Romance by a husband and wife team Dennis and Barbara Rainy. It's a real eye opener it is Christian based and I 100% am a believer that the only way to be truly happy in all areas of your lfe is to live by the Bible. Do what it says. Go to church live your life for God. The problem my hubby and I had with this book is how to rekindle something that was never there? I was or I think in love with him at one time but he was always an a** and finally I just decided to deal with now he's different and he regrets everything he has done. Maybe you can help with this one. How do I get over the past? I know I need to get my life right with God that would help 100%. But anyways I am rambling Hope this helps. The link I am gonna leave is the website where you can get this book Click on online store and do a search for the title. I also encourage you check out the info they have I don't know where you live but you should see if they have their radio station near you it really helps me!

Someone not of this Earth, A combination of Mahatma Gandhi, Mary Magdalene, John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Mother Theresa, someone who believes in God but doesn't preach God, someone who is a good person and is not swayed by money, power, sex, or peer pressure. Someone who looks towards the interests of helping all those in need and is less concerned with those operating from a greedy egotistical point of view.\n\nhe/she would believe in morality and assisting humans to become more compassionate and empathetic of all other humans.\n\nDo you Know anyone like this? I hope he/she shows up soon.

Father, I do not know this person for whom I am praying right now, but You do.  You alone know all there is to know, you know her needs, her sorrows, her joys.  I just ask You this day to guide and direct her, to protect her and to remind her that You will never fail her or forsake her (Deut 31:8).  I pray that she will always keep You in her heart.  In Jesus name...\nAmen.

Told him an allegorical story about David himself.  When David got angry at the story and condemned the unjust man, NATHAN (not Samuel) told him that that mad was David.\n\nDavid and Bathsheba also lost their first child.

I was not sure so I check a Bible scholar named Matthew Henry and he said "Miriam was struck with a leprosy, but not Aaron, because she was first in the transgression, and God would put a difference between those that mislead and those that are misled." I am still pondering the question but hopefully this will give you something to think about.

All I can tell you is...Good Luck ! I'm very similar to the person you have described. Except, I would have allowed you to crash on my couch. I believe what makes us that way is because we never really had anyone that we trusted enough, to really let ourselves open up and lean on them. Sometimes it's a good thing and other times it feels like a curse. I don't think you per say can break her out of this, but don't give up on her. It's just something that she has to acknowledge and work on every day.
