ephesians522 View Profile History	Losing the capacity to love Posted : 20 Jan, 2009 11:54 PM I'm not talking about losing love for our Heavenly Father, but being without a companion for a long period of time to where one is not sure they can share intimacy with another. You know, the chills and goose bumps you get from a touch, the longing to be intimate with them when you look into their eyes, the wanting to kiss when you have them in your arms. Am I the only one or are there other guys out there who are experiencing this? Post Reply
View Profile History	Losing the capacity to love Posted : 29 Jan, 2009 10:48 PM I know how you feel brother. I was with a girl for half of a year before she broke up with me. I too felt the goose bumps and that longing to kiss her when she was with me. It hurt for a long time. These last couple of days though there has been one verse from Matthew that has resounded in my mind over and over and it may help you. Matthew 7:7 and 8. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek,and you shall find;knock, and it shall be open unto you.For everyone who ask receives;and he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks it shall be opened. Our heavenly father knows of our wants and wants to meet them. So if your looking for that intamacy again the best thing to do is pray for it. God will hear your prayer and as long as you put him first in you life brother, god will meet that need. Just remember it will be in his time. Until then stay strong and patient in the lord. May God bless you. P.S. sorry if I spelled intamacy wrong. Post Reply

View Profile History	Losing the capacity to love Posted : 2 Feb, 2009 08:42 PM Ephesians, No need to apologize brother, it is something we all go through. We all have moments when we wonder if we will ever know the feel of a woman sleeping contentedly in our arms, or if we will ever get the chance to smile lovingly at them as we brush the hair from her eyes as she is sleeping. If we will ever get the chance to walk up behind her as she is doing something in the kitchen, and slide our arms around her as we gently kiss her neck, and feel her lean back into our embrace. These are all the moments in time that we associate with love and marriage. They are what we long for in our hearts. It is normal for Christian men to feel these things. We don't allow ourselves the intimacy that other men get to fill some of that longing, so it builds up. But imagine how happy your wife will be when you get married, and you can pour out all that love and affection on her. In His service, Leon Post Reply
View Profile History	Losing the capacity to love Posted : 12 Feb, 2009 03:45 PM Well I'm with you. After my divorce I'm just not able to connect easily as I did before. I do think that if you don't get out there and dance, the devil makes you wonder if you can ever return to that feeling and connection. So stay strong and the Lord will bless everone that waits for him. Remember God promised you a helpmate. Take hold and profess that in the name of Jesus he will bring that helpmate and restore those feelings that are lost from wondering what's taking so long:yay: Post Reply
