Yeah true that sometimes I struggle to find the right words to say I really do!! And sometimes my heart goes out to you so bad I just know you're hurting and looking for some answers. Looking for some peace of mind. But often I go to say one thing in one way and come out with it in a completely different way to what was first intended. Sorry about that!! LOL
Its not my fault, God made me this way but I'm learning too sister but I just knowwww He's going bring you to the finish line!!
And when He does, on the day of Christ, this wont even come into your mind!! So don't even worry about a tiny thing! Just give thanks and praise. Or just give Him the recognition and trust that he will complete the good works in you that He started!
Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
Philippians 1:6 tells it how it is!
Someone taught me something very profound once that has helped me to overcome some sins and addictions again and again. I will try to post it as best I remember. This may help you and anyone else also. If you can see it something that doesn't bring honor to God, then you can more easily separate and distance yourself from it. The question here is one of self control and obedience. Recognizing it for what it is and making the right decision. But I don't care what people say or quote. Even if you can't stop doing something until the day you die it wont make God love you any less.
The three steps to sin.
There are three steps or three parts to sin until the
sinning actually takes place.
- First there is the thought.
- Then there is the agreeing with it.
- Then there is the action.
The first is the thought, when the thought comes into your mind. Like when you're not doing anything and you have some free time to yourself and because you've done it in the past, you know you can choose to do it again.
Then next there is the agreeing with the thought. You've had the thought. It's been presented to you as an option. This is where you meet the point of no return. You either agree with the thought and go ahead and do it, or you don't agree and subsequently don't do it.
Also there's another great one about the bear outside the cave theory something to think of when satan comes along and whispers the thought into your ear. Imagine you're out camping and there you are alone in your tent getting in on with yourself and outside there is a bear. Imagine that the bear is God. If you carry on the bear will discover you and maul you but if you stop, the bear will pass. You have to decide which need is greater and decide if its worth doing.
Or something like that LOL
Hope it helps.
