if one feels confident in expressing their feelings, then there should be no reason to post an excuse
to rectify what that have said from their heart -

try and take confidence in your Saviour, hence, feel free and rest in your heart...

Amazing picture indeed:D can you show some actual images of these kinds of things? I mean the picture was painted great but imagine how it would look if was an actual real life picture:D

It depends. If it was genuine correction to help me understand then no it would not hurt I would be thankful, we cannot ever learn if we are not willing to receive correction. However like with anything in life it all begins and ends with the motive of the heart, there is a difference between giving brotherly correction and simply downgrading another believer. Is that what you think I did?
Did you feel that the OP was in need of correction?

The op needed comfort and guidance as far as correction goes I was only answering your question to me. The scenario you gave to me to answer was not one of genuine correction but one of malice implying that is what I did. As I said before my only purpose and intent was to help and heal this wounded soul and if my words did help him then God is glorified however I would appreciate it if you would not make assumptions about me. Let me ask you this, since he made his post have you only debated and argued on this thread? Or did you actually attempt to help this person in need? I am actually concerned about this person and am hoping he will come back soon honestly what you think I did wrong is not even close to what matters here this thread is about this young man who came to us for help.

I messaged him offering comfort and told him that if he needs any help or advice I am always willing even if it's just an ear to listen to his troubles, as to why your so fixated on me I have no idea but we are not here to simply debate and argue with each other we are his extended hands and feet able to reach hearts we normally cannot physically and many come here in need of exactly that so I recommend instead of arguing over what I did or didn't do maybe try to help this person who came to us for help?

Well actually as an artist I can tell if a picture was made or not, though it could also have not been paint it might have been oil pastels but yes this is a beautiful picture made by someone very skilled that I could only dream of doing

I never said that it was about a donkey. I posted that picture because Jewel jokingly said she wanted to see a talking donkey. What is your problem?? Devin saw a goat shaped cloud, so what? It was a cloud, nothing more. And he shouldn't attribute more to it than that.
Let's see you pranced into the thread quoting me about blain thus started this duel between us, then you came back saying lets not derail the thread, then the very next post you join the Frey and thought the donkey was funny. Do you not think that is the pot calling the kettle black?. what did any of that have to with the OP. sorry but that sems hypocritical to me. but I'm the one with the problem interesting.

Hmm I guess what I said was being malice in your eyes. I assume you dont believe in your eyes what you said to him could be contruded as malice to his heart. have you heard back from him?

Maybe help wasn't what he needed

If it was malice to him then I will apologize fully and still try to help him however I can but sadly no he hasn't been online since his first post here last night.

I know I wonder why,

I'm not trying to hard on you I'll leave it at that, it's your choice to believe that or not.

Great Op! It allowed for a great discussion that I think we all can come away from having gained much. Even, if we all have different views we can all come away with something we may not have thought about. God Bless all!

Nope, God called you chosen, blessed, son/daughter, saint, his...

You cannot love God and him not love you. To put it in logical terms, is your love stronger than God's (who is love). In biblical terms, we love because God first loved us.

The goat thing is just a lie. It doesn't mean anything... It doesn't mean you did something wrong either. It's just a lie.

Wow! I wasn’t expecting so many responses! Sorry for the late reply, I was at work. I am new here by the way (and I’m a woman despite my name being Devin. It’s ok people get confused all the time). I really appreciate everyone’s response. It definitely made me feel a lot better. The lord spoke to me this morning and told me to not be afraid and that He will save me. In a lot of ways I feel like He already has. I also believe that God speaks to me through His people (all of you). Again thank you for all of the responses!
