Welcome to Gaia! ::

PEOPLE this is a guild, we are a group of people with simular interest... in this case we all share the same religion, Christianity, so we should be trying to draw close to God. How will we do that if we keep having trouble with the same sins, or if were depressed, or if were doing somthing, or if something is going on that is hindering us from growing in our relationship with Christ? Hebrews 12:1 "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily hinders our progress. And let us run with endurance the race that God has set before us" Yes, we all have a great witness but in order to embrace it fully we have to deal with the things that are hindering us, and we cant do it alone. Thats why i made this thread, so that we, as a guild of christians, can work together to help each other grow stronger in Christ, so that we as christians will be able to witness knowing we are NOT alone in this. We are all fighting the same spirtual war, but wither (spelling) not we work as a team or not, will help determine wither (spelling) we are victorious or not... If a soldier walks in to battle alone is he rather to get shot or survive, yes he may last a little while but when surrounded by the enemy he will surely suffer, but if a soldier walk into battle with a team of his peers they will fight for each other, they will have each others backs through good times and bad, if one of there team members is wounded they will nurse them back to health, they will help him rise back up to face in the battle agian. My friends we are that 1 soldier and wither not we go in alone is our choice... Please we need to be there for each other even online. We need to help each other with our problems, we need to be the team of soldiers that fights the war together, is there for each other, raseing each other back up to fight the war, and is victorious. please, post your every day troubles and myself and others will be there for you, giving you advise and helping you overcome your troubles.

well alot of people hurt each other very harshly and in you case more than others. My advice would be, if you can, talk to her about how you feel and ask god to help you forgive her, because sometimes (i know from experience) it is hard to forgive people because they hurt you. If you can go and talk to her it might help her to see how you feel, and it would get it off of your chest. If you still cant forgive her then you need to go into prayer because there is somthing still there thats not being delt with. Also satin is trying to ruin your relationship with her by reminding you of how much she has hurt you. John 10:10 "The theif comes to steal, kill and destroy, but i have come that they may have life, and have it to the full " satin is the theif and in your case he wants to steal your relationship with your sister by reminding you and you give in by holding the grudge, but jesus comes to give us life, he wants to give you your life with your sister back to you you just have to ask him sincerly. I would say talk to your sister even though you have the grudge to let her know how you feel but dont blow up in her face cuz that only makes matters worse, but instead talk to her in love.
Proverbs 10:12 Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers over all wrongs. 18 He who conceals his hatred has lying lips, and whoever spreads slander is a fool. 19 When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise.
Leviticus 19:17
"'Do not hate your brother in your heart. Rebuke your neighbor frankly so you will not share in his guilt.

luke 6:27
"But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you

1 john 2:9
Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness.
