Church Hurt

Church Hurt

I don’t want to leave the comforts
of the church that I have spent
most of my saved life in.

The attachment to my brothers
and sisters there is strong and
I do not want to lose it.

But I feel a tugging on the inside
telling me that it is time to go.

Cortney Bartholomew Date: 1/12/2017 12:47:00 PM I have felt this, and was in a very similar position,,,,I did leave,,,my heart was torn but I knew God has a purpose and I trusted that more than anything..your in my prayers,,,when I did leave, and got alone with God alot more, he showed me more about myself I did not see...I was so busy physically n mentally, I felt like God was slowing me down to really take notice..sometimes the smallest things are the most important because all the smaller stuff adds to the bigger picture Login to Reply Cortney Bartholomew Date: 1/14/2017 7:51:00 AM At the time, I felt like my heart was caving in, it was a heaviness, that's the only way I can describe it to you, Cortney Bartholomew Date: 1/14/2017 7:41:00 AM I'm glad you stayed,,,in my situation it was a bit different, it wasn't so much gripes about the church, it was much more personal, i also think it was my pride a bit, but more hurt and questions than anything, some hurts that were so deep I couldn't even get the words out to describe, until much later on Evan Mitchell Date: 1/14/2017 3:45:00 AM I came to the conclusion that leaving the church was not what He wanted me to do, but He wanted me to leave the pride inside of me behind. Turns out He has a great mission for the church I am in now. I've had many gripes with the church I am at now, and I think that swayed me more than actually trying to figure out what God was saying to me..
