Hey brothers and sisters in Christ! Iā€™m feeling guilty right now. Earlier on my way home from work, I was in the car with a coworker and he was asking me questions. Some of the questions had to do with if I go out (clubbing, bars). I said no and he asked me what changed me. I wasnā€™t being specific and I didnā€™t just flat out say it was God who changed me like I should have said. I just started talking about how I donā€™t feel like itā€™s necessary to go out and if God were to call me to go to a bar for some reason then I would go but I have no desire to do what I used to do. But anyway, long story short I didnā€™t give God the praise and glory like I should have done. I canā€™t stop thinking about it and how selfish I was to just keep talking and running my mouth instead of hushing up and listening to His voice to guide me in the conversation. I did tell my coworker that I have God in my life now, but I just keep beating myself up because I didnā€™t give my Heavenly Father the praise He deserves. šŸ¤¦šŸ½ā€ā™€ļø I prayed and asked for forgiveness when I came home. Has anyone ever experienced this before? Where you get so caught up in yourself and didnā€™t listen to the Father or didnā€™t give him the credit and praise like you should have? šŸ˜© I know that I am absolutely NOTHING without my Heavenly Father and itā€™s through Christ that Iā€™m able to walk in newness of life. Itā€™s Christ who lives in me that Iā€™m able to turn away from my old self. I know I canā€™t do it on my own strength. But it hurts me to realize what Iā€™ve done. I know God forgives me but I need to just let it go and forgive myself now. Bless you all šŸ™šŸ½ā¤ļø

If the Father had a work for you at tht mement, you would mostlikly have been given to do it. It is good you have a conscience Godward always. God bless you aand do not be surprised if there is another time coming with that same person and the Spirit of GƇod will guide you in your conversationā€¦.j

Beloved,please do not beat yourself up( there are ppl here that will do that for you...lol) We are STILL in this mortal body and mind,we all fail and falter at times. Thanks be to the living Lord,God has the ability to see the heart. As Jaumej has said you most likely will be given an opportunity to share with this co-worker your love of God. Stay strong,live in peace and love! God sees your heart and He gives GOOD GIFTS unto His children! Blessings and prayers for you. Nice to meet you,as I haven't see you before. Love in Jesus!
