Perhaps we all are broken hearted.
Perhaps we all struggle with our faith.
Perhaps we are all hurting.
Perhaps we all have hopes being on here that we will find someone to help along in a favorable direction and in right relationship and to help us closer to God and to delight in God for introducing us to people that help us. And perhaps we get out of this a helpmate. But the Holy Spirit is more welcome than all. To have the Holy Spirit without limit will be a most valuable treasure. Better than any dating site.

Take pride! You have had many successes. You have many friendships and dates. You are not hurting for relationship. You have expressed this. The rest of us suffer want of relationship. No need to be bent out of shape from what is written here. Some do well. Some don't do well. I think most on here lack relationship, so they are here. Great if it were great for everyone. But it is a waste of time for most us. Still we are here for the few crumbs we can get in communicating with others. Sometimes, we like reading something, so we have a good moment. More often, we read discord and argument. But here we are any way. Funny on that! I certainly hope for better, and now the nice time of year is here, so I intend to enjoy that.
