Dolly,

I would NEVER presume to even suggest that I know how anyone else feels.

I only know how I feel. I only know how much I hurt. I have no way of knowing how much anyone else feels and no one else could possibly know the pain that is in my heart.

I am so very sorry that I obviously did something that ended up negative when my whole motive for being here (and I have been a participant on this group before) is to comfort and encourage people.

I guess it was very bad judgement on my part to respond to the comment about "mediums being from God".

Please forgive me, and know that I hope the best for you, and I am so sorry for all of the suffering that you, as well as all others here are having to go through.

Grace I hope you have a very successful concert.  The acts of kindness are nice tributes to Niles.

It's ok Dennis. Everyone has a right to their beliefs. It's just difficult some times to understand the scriptures, and what they mean. Also from my experience the scriptures are even harder to comprehend when a person is in deep grief. I like knowing what the bible says. It helps me in the process of life, but my wounds aren't as raw as most here. There's nothing wrong with wanting to help.

I am sorry...I really just quoted a scripture. I didn't even say what the scripture meant. I just quoted the scripture. In essence then it is really just God talking.

And as to my being here. I have been a member for some time and have suffered many losses in life.

But I don't want to discourage anyone.

I am sorry if I offended you

God is Love and Love is God.. so I feel that a genuine medium can and does offer to one a visible representation of God, just like our children were forms we poured our love into.. I suppose my only problem is that with a medium we will still only know the past moments shared to verify but will not know more about anything elseof course there are genuine mediums and of course they help in the healing process.. each one moves to a different beat but all are from the same drummer.. so no question of losing God's love on top of everything else..xoxoxox

In the beginning I so wanted to talk to a medium. Instead I spoke to God. I direct all of my questions about death, and the life after to God. I was too angry at first to have a conversation with God, but when the anger began to settle I could feel God speak to my heart. Now I talk to him everyday. All the things I feel I can't handle I give to God, and He always finds a way to help me. I feel in my heart, and soul that God is the only one who speaks the truth, and He's the only one with the right answers whether I understand them or not. Desperation, and pain can make a person search everywhere for answers that can only come from God. I know this for myself because I looked everywhere, and until I finally gave God a chance I had no peace. However I have a hard time thinking that God would despise a person whose heart, and soul has been through the depths, and pain of losing a child. I believe God knows our pain, and is willing to wait for us to come to Him, and He will be there with open arms. Peace, and Love to all from my heart to yours!

I believe this:


John 3:16 “For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.

@ Teresa D.

Not wanting to debate. Just responding to your question about God, and his feelings in regards to "mediums".

Deuteronomy 18:10 There should not be found in you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, anyone who employs divination, anyone practicing magic, anyone who looks for omens, a sorcerer, 11 anyone binding others with a spell, anyone who consults a spirit medium or a fortune-teller, or anyone who inquires of the dead. 12 For whoever does these things is detestable to God and on account of these detestable practices God is driving them away from before you.

Just FYI
