1 | forgiveness confirmed? | 1 John 1:1 | GJH | 61120 | ||
Back on 9/12 I posted my first question. I asked if I had possibly lost my chance at salvation, through committing an unpardonable sin. The encouragement received through the responses was wonderful. It had ended a three year struggle. Now, only a few days later, my joy has been replaced by a fear that I seem incapable to fight. The question is, am I supposed to experience something definative to confirm that my relationship with the Lord has been restored? It seems to me that there should be. Any comments would be appreciated, it's been a long day. | ||||||

GJH, Experience and emotional feeling are not always one and the same thing. A mental or spiritual experience is just as real as an emotional one and different people have different levels of emotional reaction. Prayer is good example. Sometimes it seems to be more emotional of feeling and other times more dry, but that does not mean that one is better than the other. For those who are Catholic the same applies to the experience of the scaraments. Every encounter withn God is not a mountain top experience, sometimes He meets us in the valley on in still small voice in the heart. My mother used to say "feelings come and go, it's how you deal with them that counts even if it seems like you have no feelings at all." Emmaus |

L. E. Maxwell used to say : "Faith Focuses on Facts and Feelings are Forced to Follow" If your child , leaning to walk falls down, you do not shoot him and plan to concieve another one, you pick the child up. The facts our faith focuses on are the promises of God whch are Yea and Amen. He has promised that He will never leave us, and will always be there to pick us up. |
