Umm i read something about Godly sorrow and Worldly sorrow. I wanted to know which one i fall under.
I backslid, for like 1 year or so. And then one day i woke up.. and went back to church. But i felt uncomfortable, and even though every one said that I was forgiven, i still feel so wicked. Like I sinned on purpose against God, like i smaked him in the face so i couldnt beleive he would forgive me, and i saw how evil i really am. I turned 360 from all those sins, threw everything out.. but sometimes i wonder.. is this becuase i am afraid to go to hell, or becuase i am sorry i hurt him?? or is it ok to be a bit of both,, i mean who isnt afraid to be on Gods bad side.

But ya.. I still feel really bad, and its been like a month or so already, but i heard that God puts it there.. and it will bear fruit in due season. And to rejoice in this time, becuase when i am restored i will bear much fruit, and not return to my sin. Any insight anyone. Godly sorrow Hurts too.. Its painful, kind of sharp in the heart..

Allen, even if you turned back to Jesus out of fear, this is ok.
The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.
One of my fave scriptures is: It is in your weaknesses that God is Glorified.
Jesus and all in Heaven are celibrating your return to Him. So stop beating yourself up and start praising God! smiles
You continue to be in my prayers.
God bless, pickles
