Dear Debbie, Sure it's OK to tell God you're sorry when you goof up. He knows your heart (even better than you do). The fact that you're sorry is evidence that you do indeed have God's Spirit in you. Want to know the truth? **whisper** sometimes my flesh even enjoys sin - but it makes me miserable afterward. And God knows that too. He is grieved when we sin. Why? Because He is holy? Sure, but also because sin hurts someone that He loves even more than His own life, whether myself or a fellow believer or a sinner I may know. And sin NEVER satisfies my soul like Jesus and God's Word does. But, Debbie, because Christ has dealt with all our sins, His Holy Spirit never leaves or forsakes us. What a wonderful salvation we have! God indwelling us! Do I tell God I'm sorry when I goof up? Yeah, then I tell Him that I'm probably not always as sorry as I should be and that I am SO THANKFUL that Christ has allowed my sins to be behind the back of God, as far as the east is from the west. As one other person posted, he who is forgiven much is the most thankful. In EVERYTHING give thanks. When I do sin, it ALWAYS shows me my need for Christ. So, dear sister, "be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God IN CHRIST also has forgiven you." Don't forget to forgive yourself also. If God has forgiven you, and you KNOW that, then you can forgive yourself, too. Blessings in Christ, Bill Mc |

I still may not agree with you entirely, but I couldn't have said it better myself. We are 100 per cent in agreement on this one. My God will never leave me or forsake me. His Spirit dwells in me and I KNOW I am His child. And that is what counts! Praise to our God who reigns now and forever! Debbie |
