I'm about ready to give up everything?

Question

I will leave my home and material belongings. I will tell my parents partner and friends I have failed to save them and so I must leave... what will they think?

Interesting... most read what they want to, the problem is not one of you listen. there was only one who asked for a reason. Others just criticised. Those who did criticise please look closely at yourself. I wont be here much longer.

Note: All my personal relationships are wonderful but I failed to show them heaven on earth.

Answer 1

YOU CANT SAVE EVERYONE YOU CANT PRESSURE THEM YOU CAN ONLY TRY TO HELP THEM SEE THE LIGHT BUT ONLY THEY NEED TO ASK TO KNOW WHO GOD IS AND WANT TO KNOW WHAT HES ABOUT... AND WHY DO YOU WANT TO GIVE UP ON YOUR FAMILY? HAVE YOU ASKED YOURSELF WHAT WOULD JESUS DO? IN YOUR SITUATION DO YOU THINK HE WOULD TURN HIS BACK ON HIS FAMILY, PPL AND CHILDREN OF GOD? I HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT HE WOULDNT DO THAT SO WHY ARE YOU SO READY TO LEAVE MAYBE GOD HAS SOMETHING PLANNED FOR YOU TO DO MORE TO HELP YOUR FAMILY...

Answer 2

You sound really agitated. I don't know what you mean by this question, but it sounds like you're threatening to do something drastic.

Don't.

"I have failed to save them and so I must leave" is a pretty dramatic statement. What have you failed to save them from? How would leaving them be a just reaction to failing to save them?

Maybe you should just stay put and be there for them.

If heaven were on earth, we wouldn't long for heaven in heaven. You have an all or nothing mentality going. That's not good. Love still exists in this fallen world. Leaving your family is not the answer.

Sometimes it is the silent example rather than the sermon we deliever that is the strongest influence on others.

No one can deliever heaven on earth. If you have that expectation, you will always be frustrated and deeply disappointed.

Answer 3

Why would you want to do that? Do you have so little faith in yourself that you see your work even if it did fail to be useless? To save others you must first save yourself, maybe a different approach would work.

On the other hand, why do you think they don't see "heaven on earth". Maybe their version is different than yours and have seen it. Salvation is a two way street with many roads leading to the same place. Stop and lool around and see what it is that you may be doing wrong.

By the way these pearls of wisdom come from a witch.

Answer 4

No matter what has happened to you, people that care about you can overlook any wrong. Of course they will be hurt if you left, perhaps even more than you understand. Blood ties are strong, and friendships sometimes even stronger. But what could have you done that would make you want to give up? What choices did you have? In my own life I have had the same feeling just to escape, but a man reached out to me. No, I am not getting religious....a mortal but of a different race...he was Chinese, I am white...but he saved me and I live my life in his honor. Perhaps you need such a person to keep you on the right track. Don't degrade yourself, you are a worthy person and can make amends for anything.

Answer 6

I see, so you're just going to give up on everything you were working on? Why? Why would you do such a thing? Don't loose hope! Keep trying to get them to see. Have them talk to other Christians like you. Have you tried to get them to read the Bible? Do everything in your power to help them and pray always so that the may see the light. Do not loose sight of the goal you had for it was and is still worth the fight. Just don't leave. It will crush all who are involved. They will notice, but it will not have the affect you are so longing for. Please trust me when I say that the fight is worth the work you have to put up with. I'm not here to criticize, I'm here to help.

Answer 7

Why are you giving up? Why will leaving help? Why is it your responsibility to provide heaven on earth? I think you have given yourself too large of a task. Giving up and leaving might not be the only solution. It might make things worse for those who love you! You are not responsible for saving anyone except yourself!
Please work on that! Don't give up! Hang in there and work on the problem. Talk to your family! Find out what they think by talking to them, we can only guess.

Answer 8

Hello,
Where do you plan to leave to? if you mean that you want to take your life, please don't do that.. Life is worth living and you need to see that there are good things in this world that can help you see that. How do you mean you couldn't save them? You don't need to but you can save them dispare by just talking to them.. Let them know how you feel and please stay on the positive side, there is already so much you can do for yourself. Don't listen to all of the critisism of the selfish people before my post, listen to me.. You are loved not only by family and friends but by God and none of them would want to see you hurt or dead. Think about your future, the wife you may have the kids you may have and know that they won't be there is you hurt yourself. I am here for you.

Answer 9

Your loved ones are always ready to better themselves so as to please you, but just as too much sun can kill a plant, they will not react to a flood of daily requests and radical impulses coming from you. If you feel that your family has to change to take a step on the road to salvation, you can help change them if you act in a subtle way, by admiring the features you consider to be virtues in other people. If you leave, you will punish them by taking away the only source that can cast light on the long way they have to walk to become better people and you will punish yourself because leaving means giving up on your mission, it means you are not strong enough to do the things you were chosen for. While doubts are a normal thing (Jesus himself hesitated before carrying on with his mission), by giving up you will fail yourself and the ones that love and trust you. Have faith and the sun will shine for you!

Answer 10

You haven't died yet, so every day that you wake up, you get another chance to do that.

They will think that you didn't love them. And it seems like you do, because you wanted to show them heaven on earth. The best thing for you and them is probably to stay, or else go away for a short time and tell them where you are.

Answer 11

Save them from what? This is an important thing to know!

All people I know who have thrown up their hands and left everything have regretted it. Whatever problems they were running from usually followed them because the problems were in how they were living life. Not in how life was happening around them. They took the problems with them and then had to begin all over again, losing whatever ground they had gained in the last place.

ADDITIONAL: Why do you feel it is your responsibility to show them heaven on earth? From all I have ever been taught or searched out on my own, it is a personal thing that each of us must find on our own. Maybe you could try trusting them to find their own connection with God, and also try trusting them to help you with your burdens. We are in this thing called life as a group! We are meant to support and help each other. Especially in families.
Please don't do something that your family will have to carry around with them for the rest of their lives. The guilt, anger and confusion that an abandoned person carries is enormous. If you truly love them you will not burden them with this.
Can you find someone to talk with? If you can't talk with your family, do you have a spiritual advisor that you trust? Please find someone to help you through this.
