1 | being/knowing you are beautiful | Mark 12:31 | Larry55 | 192789 | ||
I choose life. What must I do? This gets confusing. I think it makes sense, but then that understanding slips away. I do not choose to stay in my sin in that I do not want to stay there. I hate sinning against God. I want to repent, but if repent means to go and sin no more, then how can I repent? I ask for God's forgiveness many, many times a day even for bad thoughts. It is not all bad because I do notice that I have faith that He does forgive me--maybe it is belief and not faith. Anyway, I feel forgiven more and more each day. Also, every time I turn my thoughts to God, He is there. He really will never leave me or let me go. This part may be wrong, but He told me about a week ago that my connection with Him inside is always open, and even my sin will not close the door. If it takes faith to please God, how do I know I have faith? How is faith different than belief? I think I have Godly sorrow. I hate sinning against God and ask forgiveness every time. I do not intend to sin ever again every time. Sometimes I can hold out longer than other times. I am so sad that I have so very, very far to go before I can have that abundant, joyful life He promises. I really do dispair of ever succeeding. Thank you for talking with me. Love, Larry |

Larry, 1 Corinthians 1:13- No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man, and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will able to endure it. Buddy we aint done yet. Life when viewed from a human perspective only does get complicated and even when viewed in a godly perspective can still be complicated and confusing. But it doesn't have to stay that way either. Take 1 Corinthians 1:13 to heart. God has, does and will provide a way to win in any situation. We are not destitute or powerless. Matthew 6:33 tells us to seek God first. Think about that. That's gotta be our priority, it's gotta be yours too. Colossians 1:27- Christ in you the hope of glory. You do have strength. You say your not sure you believe or you have repented. Repentance doesn't mean that we won't sin. It happens every day. It does mean we don't have to stay in whatever sin it is we are struggling with. Remember 1 John 1:9. John 3:16, Acts 2:38, Romans 10:9,10. Go back and look at these scriptures. Are you or are you not? These scripture are clear and plane and leave no room for ouestion or doubt. Get with a brother who is strong in the Word and faith and study this stuff out. You don't have to go this alone. Don't do it! God never created any lone rangers. Love Ya, lionheart |
