to love and be loved
I'm 20 and yet to be in a relationship yet. Everyone around me is getting together and experiencing being in a relationship. I just do not understand why am i still alone. Perhaps I am a female and do not have the guts to make the 1st move. Am I not pretty enough? Please, I really want to love a be loved. Thank you

Didn't mean to sound harsh, but judging by your profile, you really do seem to need to hear the message of salvation first. Not trying to sound insensitive, for there are so many young people searching for love. But this message of salvation is the best way to find love- from God, and from the people he will lead into your life. Again, if the previous message sounded too harsh, I apologize. But that message was not just intended for you, but all those don't seem to know Jesus. God bless you!

I am a christian. The comment I read is a little disturbing( from the other christian). It's true you need to know Jesus as your savior but the other christian should have used other words. In the case of finding someone, hold on. I was 25 before I got married. I desperately looked for my true love since high school. I found her through Christ and I know it takes a little time and help from the lord. Your to young to worry yet just hold on to faith and it may or may not happen depending on what God has planned for you.

To Chewy: that's why the second part was written. The words certainly could have been phrased better, as I acknowledge, but i think you should have also considered the second part before you wrote your opinion. the correction in my opinion should have been enough.

tehs0013, my ex boyfriend, luan, was an atheist for most of his life. he became depressed and his life started to fall apart...his job that was going so well...our relationship. he became withdrawn and i knew why. it's because he was missing God in his life. after we broke up, he was at his lowest point and turned his life over to Christ. but it was HIS choice. he didn't do it for anyone else but for himself. he told me that for the first time, he asked God for forgiveness and cried "alot" (to quote him). luan has had a rough time, but he knows he did the right thing...he says, "i now know unconditional love." and really, that's a feeling that is greater than any other...for me...i cry when i think God sent his one and only Son, Jesus, to suffer and die in order for the rest of us to live. that is true unconditional love. God will never leave us...we leave him, but when we come to him, he celebrates it. he wants us to come to him for help...he does listen. and he answers if we have faith in him...that faith has to be sincere. as for the longing to love and be loved...i recommend you read, "captivating" by john and stasi eldredge. genesis says we are all made in God's image. well...captivating addresses why God made women the way he did. why we desire to be swept off of our feet and long to be loved and fought for. i wish you the best, and i pray you know the love of Jesus Christ. he's the only "man" who will love you forever...you will always be gorgeous to him... but with God you do have to have the guts to make the first move....i garantee he will not reject you. and after that, watch him work wonders for the desires of your heart. please keep me updated!

" Captivating" is a fabulous book. It speaks of the woman's soul, and how GOd meets those needs we have for a Knight in Shining Armour.
God's path for each person is unique. Sometimes He brings people a spouse, a human lover and friend, but some times, in His wisdom, He does not, but always provides to meet our needs in most loving way possible.
The book is by Stasi Eldredge, with her husband, John, who has written many books on walking with Jesus. His latest is called " Walking with God" and is very good.
I think what mrjt was saying was important. I believe many people suffer depression and other things due to the fact their sense of identity is wrapped up in another person. When we allow our selves to only feel good about who we are when we are in a relationship it causes us to not fully be the person God desired us to be.
Love is great when God brings it. He is a romantic and created sexual romantic relationships, but not to be the thing to which we base our happiness.
God Bless,

I do not go to church at all but i do believe that there is a spiritual being overlooking us all. I'm not sure what religion is that classified under. but it reflects my current religious views best.

Just confess your sins. Ask Jesus to come and live in your life. At that moment you are then forgiven for all of your sins, all of the evil you have ever done. And You are immediately born-again into a child of God. God's spirit will come to live inside of you forever. In this way you will never have to worry about ever going to hell; and you will be protected from those evil spirits that want to destroy you, just as long as you try to live by the word of God(the Bible), and stay in prayer. Join a church so that others can show you how to live for Jesus. This should be a Christian church. There is only one true religion, the one the Bible speaks of. This religion is typically called Christianity. All others are false and inspired by demons. There is only one way to God: through Jesus Christ his son! No other way.
As far getting a boyfriend is concerned, as you live your life for Jesus, God will, in time, bring someone into your life as your husband. You should only look to marry someone who lives and believes in Jesus. The Bible teaches us to not join with unbelievers.
Anyway, don't worry about a boyfriend right now: just seek Jesus with all of your heart. Everything else will take care of itself. God will bless you with that special person in time. Just be patient.
God bless you!
Please stay in touch.
