[QUOTE="maintenance man, post: 74248932, member: 413462"] That's an interesting read. Thanks for sharing your struggle. You've had a difficult time and I feel your pain. I want to help but I don't think there's much I can do. Honestly, I don't believe you have a spiritual problem - you seem to have a mental health problem. Have you spent any time with a qualified therapist? At one point you said there's nothing good about you but later you said you love yourself. I'm not sure why I made a note of that but it struck me as revealing - although I don't know what it reveals. Being a Christian is not a magical feeling that comes over you - it's a decision you make. Just like loving someone else is not a magical feeling - it's a decision you make. Once you've made that decision you take the steps to demonstrate that love. In the case of being a Christian you follow the teachings of Jesus and thereby demonstrate your love for him - or your decision to love him. It sounds like you've done exactly that at various times in your life, but for some reason you continue to have doubts about your decision - this is why I suggest you may have a mental health issue that is twisting your thoughts. I hope that doesn't offend you. I sincerely want to help and I think some time with a good therapist might be useful. [/QUOTE]
