“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” – Jesus, Matthew 11:28
hey everyone.
i don’t have too much to say but i’ll start off by mentioning that this post isn’t at all for myself.
there are a lot of people who come to this site and write down their experiences/situations for others to read, but many of us here don’t really receive help.
the only way things fall away from goodness is because of a lack of God. so basically what i’m trying to say is that if you really want to make your life and yourself better, you need Him, and you need Him more than just an hour a week.
if you’d like to talk about Him or just talk to me, please contact me! don’t be like so so many, and hesitate about talking to me, and waiting until seeing this for the 20th time to contacting me, please…but if you don’t have anything nice to say, then please don’t say anything at all.
if you would be interested in talking to me, please go to this page www.skull09.net, and there’s an easy little way to talk with me if i’m online, and there are also multiple ways to contact me listed, including AIM, MSN, Yahoo, Facebook, GTalk, ICQ and email.
i’m just a 17 year old guy, from texas. i’d really love to help anyone if they would just let me, but the most i can do for you is tell you/try to convince you of what i’ll say now: seek God for help and live for Him. this has worked for me, and it has worked for others – God Himself promises for it to work.
if you’ll accept anything – please know that the meaning of life is to follow your conscience. love your neighbor as yourself.
if anyone would like for me to pray for him/her, please just ask.
thank you very much for reading.
p.s. all of you who even come to this site, need to go here too: www.givesmehope.com
take care,
-Daniel

Thank you for your post. It was exactly what I needed to hear.
Daniel: your page states you are seeking to earn salvation. As a Christian, salvation is OWNED (freely given by God to all who ask), not EARNED…right?
I know your intentions are good. There are worse things you could do with your time. I’m not criticizing, jsut injecting a thought.
my page states that i am seeking to achieve salvation. it is an ongoing process. it cannot be done unless you live by Jesus’ teachings and obey God in heaven. so that is what i am doing my best to do: make it through the world while living by Jesus’ teachings and obeying God, and trying to help others to do the same.
the idea that salvation is some sort of certificate whenever you speak the words, “i believe Jesus died for my sins” is ridiculous, and Jesus Himself does not support it,
“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” – Jesus, Matthew 7:21
these are the 2 greatest commandments:
1. love God with all of your heart, all of your soul, and all of your mind
2. love your neighbor as yourself
so these are the 2 commandments God wants us to do, so i have to live by and obey and teach these things, or i’ll be destroyed like anyone else.
people must Love God, their Creator, not for the sake of escaping destruction, and not for the sake of His reward, but rather out of love for Him, or what can they expect?
My apologies for not double-checking your page before leaving my message. I still believe “saved” is “saved”.
That doesn’t give me license to sin, nor do I seek to do so.
I have always sought to do as you have: all that I had was not mine and I sought to help anyone He placed in my path, including sharing my home, etc.
I have a few decades on you, which doen’t necessarily make me more intelligent – but I have learned this: My desire to gently share with others was often misguided/ enabling. In fact, somehow, I think the greater lesson was to leave things alone for God to deal with in each person in His time.
That said, what can your offer to listen hurt ayone? So I wish you well.
oh wow, you deleted all the comments criticizing you… how did you do that?
Yeah he certainly did qaz, or wordpress did, which is even worse…
Don’t worry Shelly, it wasn’t wordpress.. it was all him deleting his entire post along with all your comments and spaming a new one.
How bout this for “constructive criticism” K3T, for now, don’t put that stupid picture in your post and using it to intimidate people into following you, especially people already frightenend. That’s really below the belt.
Also by the way, you’re quite iritating.
