I've come to the realization that I have been slowly decieved by the theif. He has distorted my image of my Father and myself. I used to see Him for all that He is, but I find myself thinking that God is frowning on me. The first step back, of course, is realizing that isn't who God is and that he accepts me and he cares more about me than my temptations from evil.
I also want to use this post to remind my brothers and sisters that temptation is not sin. Even giving into sin in your dreams is not sin- it's only the theif trying to steal away your faith in yourself. He wants you to think you are sinful and helpless. This is a lie.
I know I am not the only one who has gone through these things, and maybe this post could reach out to some of you, (and I hope it does) so God can tell you that you are free. You belong not to temptation, but the Father over all the world. As dark as times are becoming, there is a light in your soul. Take heart and fear not.
