Answer 1

A true Christian will be glad you are attending no matter what your appearance is. Pray and study your Bible and strive to follow the word of Jesus. No one is perfect, only Jesus, so try to overlook those who try to hurt you. The devil will try and give you reasons not to attend church, but don't let that get you down. God bless you.

Answer 2

Hey, my love :)

I can relate to what you are feeling. Anyone who will look down on you for any reason and is a Christian is not spiritually mature. Forgive them and move on. Continue to go to church. Ask the Lord if that is the church you should be at, but do not give up on your relationship with Christ because of those who are misguided.


As far as the homosexual thoughts, do not feel like you are the only one who struggles with that. That can be overcome by continuing to abide in Christ. Try your best to get around true believers who are filled with the holy spirit and are spiritually mature, read your Bible as often as you can and pray as often as you can.


Don't worry, everything will work out just fine as long as you keep your eyes toward Christ. He will guide you and direct your path.

Remember that church is not about what you have on, etc. It is about love. It's about hearing the word of God, fellowshipping with believers and praising God. That's all that should be on your mind when you go.

I hope that I helped. Remember that you are SO LOVED! God loves you more than you will ever know. He said that the very number of hairs on your head are numbered. So, He definitely doesn't want you to be discouraged by anything.

I hope this helped! :)

P.S.

Also, begin to speak life to it. Think about positive things and declare your victory outloud.
And sometimes even speak to yourself in the mirror and encourage yourself. Say, you are a man/woman of God and you are more than a conqueror through Jesus Christ. You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.

Answer 3

There's nothing wrong with being a little self-conscious...most of us are. But, if it is keeping you from living life, it is a problem. You sound like an introvert, but it also sounds like you may be suffering from social anxiety....which you really do need to see a doctor about.
Don't change who you are for others. If they don't like the way you dress, they can pay for a new wardrobe or get over it. And if your "friends" are treating you like that...I wouldn't call them by that name. Just go back to doing what you want to do.

Answer 4

You are my sister in Christ (I assume you are female) and I think you look just fine.
Do nothing to intentionally give offense to another. You can worship God in truth whether dressed in riches or rags or the outlandish or outdated. Weigh in your own heart whether or not your choice of fashion is appropriate, keeping in mind the good of others.
You can make errors in decisions concerning matters of conscience due to heavy persecution. Trust the love of the family of God and reach out to a trusted elder when temptation comes. There must be someone of maturity in your church community.

Answer 5

you must understand one thing that God cares more about the heart then the appearances, but if your appearance makes you feel bad then it would be good to change it (but do it for your self not because any one else makes fun of you). seek God and he will show you what you must do, how you must dress (if the way you dress grabs men's attention then you must start changing the cloth you ware for you don't want to open any doors for satan). I am sorry about what people (church members) say to you or tell you but remember God has overcome the world and the sacrifice he made in the cross was so that you can be with him for eternity.

go to Church and don't' stop going because of what people say to you or do (you must show satan that with Jesus by your side you can over come anything).

remember we go to church to worship God and glorify him (for we are grateful for all that he has done for us), not to pay attention to man, but to hear his Word and talk to God.

so don't worry about everyone that judges you for God is a God of Justice and he will take care of them in judgment day.

God Bless

Answer 6

God doesn't care what you're wearing, He cares what's in your heart. And as far as other people looking down on you, if they're true Christians they're just going to be glad you came.... Don't worry about the haters, it's on their soul, not yours! Good luck and God bless!

Answer 7

Why would you want to win acceptance by people who by their actions demonstrated that they are petty perverts? That is the main question you should be asking yourself.
