[bit.listserv.christia] Just need to talk.

MLBOWDEN@DEPAUW (Michael L. Bowden) (01/16/90)

Hi.

     Most of you don't know me.  But I need to talk to someone.  I am
having some difficulties right now and I really can't talk to anyone
face to face.  But I need to talk to someone.  And somehow I wish my
name was not attached to this letter.

     I was wondering if anyone has struggled with the concept that you
need God but you can't give Him what He needs.  I mean if "being you"
meant hurting God, if "being you" displeased God.  I am really confused.
Would someone please talk to me?

     I probably have no right sending this to the list but I have a
friend who sought help here and some very kind and helpful letters came
to him.  Please, if you reply, send it directly to me and do not post
it to the list.  Thanks...
