This is from Saturday night:
Someone rescue me.
Where is God?
Every time I see him, he’s gone as fast as He came.
I try to learn, try to understand, try to justify Him.
He is just, but I cannot justify.
I do not know where He has gone.
I do not know why He has left.
When will it be over?
When will He come back?
Why does my new life feel like death?
Where is God?
Someone rescue me.
Today, God told me one rather specific thing: suck it up. I know who God is. I know He loves me, He cares for me. If I feel like shit, it's not His fault. I can't blame it on Him. And get this: there really is some joy to be found in Christ. Wow, I know, you'd never know it looking at me. I just simply never know it. But honestly, there is. I've experienced it before, and then some today.
I suppose I can't guarantee myself this feeling will last, I can almost guarantee it will not, but the point is that when it does not, it will not be God who is doing something wrong.

James 3:10-11
Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring?
that was to your old post asking if cursing was really bad. im sure theres more, but it would take me ages to find it. brotehr, dont be led astray by your surroundings. hold onto your teachings that you knew from childhood. listen to god in a quiet time and hell let you know whats right and whats wrong. where you are is not who you are and those you are with are not you either. dont stray, for you are loved unconditionally, but should you not treat this unconditional love with respect? if a child is loved so much by its mother but does nothing to try and please her and just takes that love, sure, she will always love her child, but she may cry for it doesnt seem to be returned. i dont know if that is a good example, but im trying here.
eve took that bad fruit. it was still in the perfect garden, but it was a bad fruit. not all fruit in the garden are good, choose what you eat carefully brother.
lastly, dont forget the sunday school verse:
Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
