Why do I feel bad about this?

It would be wonderful if we lived in a perfect world, where everyone did exactly what they should, and we didn’t have to go thru stuff like this… however… we are not yet in that perfect world. We are still struggling here on planet earth.

It is very hard, when someone that we look upto commits sin, it is painful for everyone connected to that person. It hurts the family, it hurts the friends, it hurts the church, it hurts every relationship connected with that person.

That is why the bible teaches against sin. It brings pain and suffering.

The bible shows us how to respond to sin, and one of the ways is to forgive.

This is sometimes very hard to do, but, essential to our well being.

If we harbor unforgiveness, it will fester, and grow.

It can affect our bodies, as well as our whole outlook on life.

With Gods help, we can learn how to forgive, even if we don’t want to at the time.

God understands our pain, and he wants to help us thru it.

Seek his will on this. And since you are young, you may want to have some counseling sessions with your pastor, or elders. They can help you thru this.

Father, I pray for this young girl, that you would help her thru this tradegy. That you would encourage her, and help her to find the answers that she seeks. Lead her and guide her, so that she can grow stronger thru this trial. Help those around her to reach out to her, and help her thru this. Help the church thru this. Help them to regroup, and refocus, to deal with this, and to be able to move on. Send them others that can help during this process. Rebuild the youth group, stronger than before. We thank you and we praise you, in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen.

God be with you, honey. (((hugs)))

Religion is not something you owe to someone else. Do with it what you feel best, and feel no guilt about how others may perceive that. It isn’t any of their business.
