Looking to find love and acceptance

[LuisSuarez]

Good Morning everyone from the UK, hope that you are well.

I've come to this forum looking for advice that will help me find the love and acceptance in myself that will keep away the hatred I am feeling from me fellow man.

I moved to europe from South America in my youth as part of a sports scholarship at a time when I felt no presence from God, already I was confused I could not seem to follow one single path, either sports of acting. Seems stupid doesn't it, but you wouldn't believe how easy it is to mix up the two when you don't know your true calling!

I have now settled in the UK and I am making a good material living but cannot help but feel that my life is increasingly empty. Sometimes in my work there have been misunderstanding that I believe are purely cutural but in the UK these have been vastly misinterpretted. I have been openly accused of racism, something that while I do have my misgivings about some of the races and their appropriate standings in our society has been upsettingly aggressive.

I have become much more insular and within myself, but that in itself has allowed me more time to think and I have found myself visiting a church that has reminded me of the one my parents took me to before I left the country. I can feel the faith I lost in my younger days (I think this loss of faith may have contributed to me leaving my family in the first place) coming back to me, but I still feel empty and alone.

I am hopeful that you people can help me find the peace and solace I need to move on in my life.

Generally we'd like to know more basic information about you like: where you go to church, what your favorite Bible verse is, and how you came to find Jesus before getting into your various insecurities, nancy-boy vocations and simmering racism.



Yours in Christ,

ok sorry little bit unsure about this kind of thing.

I don't remember much verse from my youth or really attend church on a regular basis at the moment I was just looking to find understanding with some people that can help me back to God

not sure what you mean about nancy-boy vocations, the biggest aspect of my job involves me hitting the floor

Good Morning everyone from the UK, hope that you are well.

Why are you only saying Good Morning to those from the UK? Why do you hate America? Are you a terrorist?

Hi Luis,

It seems the pair us will be on probation for a while. You say you feel empty and alone, do you not have any firends who you might be able to share your feelings with? A problem shared is a problem halved after all.

No, little boy. A problem shared is a pain in the butt for me who has to listen to your whiny little-boy problems when we should be talking about ME Mary-Yves! A person from Quebec! And Jesus, of course.

again, i'm really sorry if i've said the wrong thing. I think I said From the UK meaning that I was saying Good Morning to you From the UK. I really didn't mean that I was only saying Good Morning To the UK, I only meant Good Morning FROM the UK to you.

Apologies again, but once more for luck. Good Morning TO you in America FROM the UK, I hope you are are well in America while i'm in the UK

Hi, Mary-Yves.

You are extra comprehensible today. How is it going staying away from the French people? Don't worry about the fake footballer.

Hello Mary, why should we be talking about you? I understand that we all like to be the centre of attention from time to time but this thread is about Luis, it is his welcome thread and I feel that this forum could offer him a lot of good in giving his life direction and meaning.

If you wish to bump your welcome thread then I'm sure you in turn will get some attention too, I might even dust off my high school french books and try typing to you in your own language.

Hello Bryan

The truth is that the people that I work for have always worshiped me, even though in my heart of hearts I know that I am a little underhand in the tactics I employ to gain advantages over our competitors.

I recently changed jobs and my new employers have every faith in me, in fact they almost treat me like some kind of messaiah.

Recently whilst involved in an American funded coorporate battle I called the closet competitor a 'Negro' which in my hometown is an affectionate term for a coloured man, but in the UK this has somehow become something much worse over the years.

Luis,

The first thing I would say is do not let yourself become a false idol, so Moses smashed his people's false idol so will the Lord do so unto you.

As for underhandedness it is oftren difficult in a place of work to gauge what is actually underhanded. Look at your collegues, if they are doing the same things as you it can't be underhanded can it?

As for your race relations issue I wouldn't worry about it unless he's going to go all Rosa Parks on you.

I've been trying to piece his story together, but Google Language Tools hasn't been too helpful.

As near as I can figure it, he was trying to escape Cuba in a homemade boat, and somehow wound up in England instead of Miami.

Welcome Lois. How many sons has Jesus be able to pull from you so far? Do you still have all your teeth?

What about Jesus gives you the greatest level of excitement?
