Dear friend;
I don't know you or your life story but I too find it hard to accumalate friends. That's pretty much because I enjoy being alone. I grew up sheltered and only had one friend which has left me socially dysfunctional. I did not get to create those skills that teaches you how to make friends nor how to keep them. So now I struggle. You have to show that you care I think and people will warm up to you. That seems to be working for me. Relative to your question; The only way to know if you are a good Christian is to examine your life in light of the scriptures. What does the Bible say makes us good Christians? Christ said that if you love him, you really know him and people will know we are Christians by our love. 1 Corinthians 13 tells us what that is all about. Spending time with him each day we will become more like him. The key to being a good Christian is to become like him.
God bless you as he continues the work he has begun in you.

God bless you beloved!
You said ..I always wonder when things keep going wrong for me and never go right..am I a good Christian? the fact that you even asked if you were a good christian and questioned if you're living your life the God wants you to- is a sign of great maturity on your part as a Christian!! God bless you. A lot of christians get angry and BLAME GOD! God can work easily with a mature christian.
Have you read the book of Job? When you read the book, it was literally one thing after another--he was blameless and yet God (in his infinite wisdom)CHOSE HIM TO GO THRU. However, as you read the passage you'll soon see he was lifted up in pride and then questioned why he was befallen with such trials. It's ok to question God. You may not get an answer from him though. God posed so many difficult questions to Job and told him if he could answer those questions he'll tell him why he was chosen to go thru. He does the same with all of us. I tell people God deals with us on a need to know basis. When we need to know, we'll know. I don't tell my kids everything, some things they just won't understand. And will create unnecessary confusion. We have to believe and trust that God knows whats best for us. He allows us to go thru to prove us. You'll find out 1 of 2 things: 1-you're not as strong as you thought you were. or 2-you are stronger than you thought you were. When you come out of your trials you, as a mature christian should be able to see where you've fallen short/or see your growth. Either way we're to praise God in the midst of going thru. Peter tells us to not to think strange the fiery (and it can get HOT!)trial which is to TRY you. So why is it that we think it strange when a fiery trial tries us? Immaturity on our part, which causes lack of trust, and in our finite thinking we think we're above such tribulations.
God loves us. But He also doesn't want us to stay a child. When we're ready to teach our children to walk, and WE know we're getting ready to let their hands go (they haven't a clue) does that mean we don't love them? Is it possible we know by spending time with our child and observing them that they're ready to embark upon a new area in their lives? I'd say yes. And when we actually do let their hand go so they can become more independent (for lack of a better word) do we abandon them? or do we move a way just a little bit and encourage our baby to come to us? God does the same thing. He gave us a book full of encouragement and depending on your relationship, you can hear directly from the throne. He wants us to come to him. In Proverbs He says acknowledge me in all your ways-He wants to be intertwined with us. He doesn't move far from us, it just FEELS THAT WAY. Same way it did to our babies when they we were walking toward us! Remember how scared our children were when they realized our hands were no longer on the back of their bikes, after we took off the training wheels? they'd crash-some of them were upset,some kids were just happy to move their toes! inevitably, they all got back on the bike but they realized sooner or later mom/dad was going to take their hands off the bike therefore it was up to them to guide that bike and keep it on course. It didn't mean we hated our child, we knew it's in the child to keep the bike upright. God does the same thing. He wants us to be like children spiritually as far as believing Him, trusting Him and obeying Him. but emotionally being a child will be a hindrance. We've all had seasons of being baby christians. But if after 3, 4 5 yrs you're still as you were when you first received Christ something's wrong. We should continue to grow. Wouldn't you be concerned if your 3 yr old still acted one yr old? There should've been some kind of progress--same with our walk.
While we've all been made Godly righteous, Matthews 19:17 Jesus says the only who's good is God. we're to be transformed daily but it can be hard in our sinful flesh, even Apostle Paul documented his struggles in Romans 7. We'll always need to seek God even when we're doing 'good.' I've learned just because WE think we're good, God'll shine a lot on an area that needs work. And if we had it ALL RIGHT, then why would we need God? It keeps us dependent upon Him. It's awesome to see where we came from...I know I couldn't believe where God had brought me from, but I got lifted up in pride. He told me that I( myself) wasn't doing anything that He couldn't make 2 rocks do. Talk about a humbling experience. I came to realize I wasn't all that. I wasn't even 'that.' ok? I learned to shift my focus off of me and my progress and turn it to Him. Father am I pleasing you, what can i do for you? Just how you are. You're amazing and wonderful and I wish you weren't anonymous so i can say hi to you, my sister by name! But God knows who you are and I ask that He blesses you in a mighty way. I just want people to get it right with God. REPENT REPENT!!
Well sister I love you. God bless you and take care.

Hello, Thank you all for all of the encouragement. Yes, in a way I did join here hoping against all hope that someone will be the right one. But I also think that I need friends to. My life has changed alot. I don't have many friends. Because I just don't do what they do now. Wow! that makes me sound like I was a bad person before. Its not that at all. I was a scared person before. Never talked to anyone stayed in the corner alot. And now I realize that I don't have to be that way and to just make the first move to talk. So here I am. I do have one major question. I am a good person. I don't do bad things. But I always wonder when things keep going wrong for me and never go right. "Am I a good Christian? Am I living my life the way God whats me to?" Does anyone else feel this way?
Once again Thank you

Dear sister-in Christ,
Please don't be doscouraged and keep praying that God will comfort you and send friends and your soul mate your way. I will pray for you.
I agree with previous responses to your prayer request that happiness comes from within - nobody can give it to you. You need to look at the brighter side of every situation and make the best from the worst. Reach out to people and they will respond to you. And please be patient and never give up.
May God bless your search
