Hi,Thanx for the comment it was a very powerful image. but i have a problem. i have this friend who i have become really close to over the past few months. in the eyes of my other friends maybe a little too close. from a stranger's eye it looks like we're together but if you were to ask it would be like a hilarious joke where we would laugh it off and say "no!". ive heard from my friends that this is making my image look really bad. it would not be such a big problem if he didn't have a bad reputation for being a "womanizer". i knew this about him before we even became good friends and now i feel like there has been a wool thrown over my eyes. he has said he's changed but sometimes the truth can be rusted. i know that i should talk to him about it but its so hard so yes im gonna need prayer for this. im confused and i don't know what to think. does he actually like me or am i just another "victim"? what should i do?

Your welcome..We are glad that you liked it. We try to keep in touch with our MySpace friends and show them love through our comments. It’s also a way of reminding all of you that we are here if you need us.
Now regarding your relationship with this young man with a reputation for being a ‘womanizer’. I can’t not answer your question about whether he truly likes you or not because I do not know. I think that you should be careful with this relationship because of his reputation. Obviously this is not a young man that fears the Lord and honors the Word of God because he tarnished himself with a reputation for being a playa. He could very well be a wolf in sheep’s clothing. So stay alert this could be a strategy of the devil who is trying to get you caught up in an ungodly relationship.
1 Peter 5:8 “Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.”
Your friends are obviously concerned about you spending so much time with this young man. They don’t want to see you get caught up with feelings for this guys who could be preying on your heart with intentions for something else. I believe they are sincerely just trying to watch your back. I don’t think that you should ignore them. Their concern for your image is more of a concern that they have for your reputation. If you are hanging out with a guy who is known to take advantage of girls and may also be known for hanging out with the easy girls that may send the wrong message to other people. You don’t want them to think that you’re easy too.
If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior then you should want to protect your reputation because you are a child of God and a representative of Christ Jesus. Therefore you must be sure that you chose your friends wisely. Your closest friends should really also be believers that love and fear the Lord. These relationships will help you along in your journey through this life and in your service to our Lord Jesus Christ. (Colossians 3:17, Ephesians 5:1)
I think you should take a step back from this relationship and spend some time alone with God. This will allow to get your emotions and thoughts under control while you seek God’s will about all of this. Have you asked the Lord if this relationship is one that He wants you to have? I know that every time I have ever asked the Lord for wisdom regarding my friendships He has always been faithful to answer me. (James 1:5-7) He has shown me that any relationship that is going to cause us to stumble in our faith, leads us into sin or temptation, and keeps us in disobedience to God’s Word is one that we should cut off immediately. (Matthew 18:8-9)
Bottom line I think you need to step back, pray, seek God’s Word, and reevaluate this friendship before it goes any further.
Also, if you have not yet received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior then we want you to know that the women of WeUsed2bu love and care about your eternal soul. Therefore, we must tell you that there will be a day when each of us will have to stand before God and be judged for all we have done on this earth.All have sinned and deserve God's judgment. God, the Father, sent His only Son to satisfy that judgment for those who believe in Him.Jesus, the creator and eternal Son of God, who lived a sinless life, loves us so much that He died for our sins, taking the punishment that we deserve, was buried, and rose from the dead according to the Bible.If you truly believe and trust this in your heart, receiving Jesus alone as your Savior, declaring, "Jesus is Lord," you will be saved from judgment and spend eternity with God in heaven.
