Do you think you are walking the road as Christ would have you? "The greatest of these is love." Are you fufilling that or do you have a long way to go? I definitely have a long way to go but I am struggling and in the struggle I am learning and meeting many beautiful people. Including some whom I would not have thought to learn from.

As I have said I have a long way to go. I am probably going down on record for the person who falls the most and needs picked up the most. Boy am I a clumsy Christian.

No, I am not. I smoke stuff. Last week I was drunk. I got divorced. But this was after the abortion. Well, I didn't have it, but I paid for it.
I never fell in love, but I stepped in it a few times. But I never killed anybody, don't plan on it, either. I steal pens from work all the time. I don't go to church. I don't pray. Actually, since I gave up hope, I feel much better, really.

Lord, I sure hope not.
As the story goes, during Noah's flood, God killed all the men, God killed all the women, God killed all the children, God killed all the babies, God killed all the animals, all the the plants and everything, in a horrible drowning death, except for Noah's boatload, all because his 6 day rush job of a universe building project, went sour. Personally, I don't want to try to please someone like that, even if he was visible.

Yeah...because it is a struggle, learning new things everyday. But if I keep scanning these message boards, since today is the first day i have used this forum I might regret it. Alot of different opinions here:)! Keep walking! LOL!

What I am learning is that what I was taught about love needs to be unlearned.
Much of what people perceive of as love is really about self-gratification, control, and manipulation. Much of it borders on addiction. It's all about sentimentality.
I'm certainly not saying that love fails to be sentimental, but love is more about acting on behalf of the beloved. Not simply caving in to the wishes of the beloved, but doing what is truly in his/her best interest.
I believe Jesus walked that path perfectly. He showed us what perfect love is.
He is the path.
I stumble. I fail to travel as far as I should some days. (Some days I seem to nap on the road!) I get frustrated with my progress. But I believe it is the right road.

I think that I am on the pathway to living a life that is pleasing to God. I think that God gives us trials and tests so that we can learn from them and grow spiritually in him.
Good Luck & God Bless

i have sinned and ask forgiveness my sins in jesus names
satan can no longer stand as my accuser

If your god is omnipotent and omniscient, then how could anything that happens in the universe not be as he wishes it to be? Even the most appalling crimes must be pleasing to god.

Ohhhhhh....
I've lost count of the number of times He has had to leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness to come chase after me. I'm trying to stick close this time...but there's this tempting little bush, just over there...........

.I have a strong love for God and our savior, my heart is ready to turn it all over to him and I try,but I have such evil thoughts in my head everyday and it is so hard to forgive this one person who hurt me so bad.I pray God will forgive me and my evil thoughts.I worry about what if I died today where would I go and the thoughts of going to Hell scares me to death.But why don't it scare me enough to where I will change.I have a long way to go .
