I constantly struggle with assurance of salvation. This sermon by Puritan William Bridge helped me a lot. I hope it will help someone else too.

Amen! The great commission isn't to make the world a better place. Thanks for this important post. I hope everyone reads it.

This is so kind of you to say. Your post truly touched my heart as well. Thank you! 🤗

I didn't see you had already answered this. Thank you. It makes sense.

I so want this, to get a picture of God's holiness. I pray for it every day. Does it take years? Is there a fast track? :unsure:

Thanks for posting this and being vulnerable. I could almost have written it myself. I came out of the occult about 2 years ago and have struggled with the same things you are, and I'm grateful to read the responses. I pray the Lord comforts you.🤗

Oh, but I only wish I could experience shame and get rid of my ego. Then I could humble myself before God and man, which I'm not able to do. I also feel that self-confidence is way overrated. It's okay if you disagree with me. 🤗 Thanks so much for expressing your thoughts.

This is beautiful, PaulNew. Your life seems filled with opportunities for service, love, and humility (humility, when they don't say sorry). Thanks for sharing this and for your kind words. BTW, I get grocery delivery, LOL. They just leave it all at the door. There's no contact. The Lord...

Welcome, BereanBride, wow, you've live a variety-filled life, living and moving all over. I'm glad you joined and hope you figure out the forum. I was fairly new to forums too, but once you get it, it's easy. You can exchange emails in private messages. Hope you love it here. I'm new too.

Aww, this is such a wonderful opportunity for you to be a servant as Jesus was. You're fortunate to have this opportunity before you. I'm stuck at home with an illness and rarely find opportunities to serve. I pray for them.

I can truly relate to what you said.

I want to love it. It's kind of a downer, LOL. But so much wisdom.

I LOVE Genesis too. My favorite, that I can never get enough of is the Gospel of John.

I just read Psalm 27 a couple of times. I totally need to memorize that one. It's amazing.

I love that chapter. It's so beautiful. Thank you, Runningman!

I REALLY like your list, PaulNew. Being nothing is really such a relief, such freedom, as you said.

Thank you, Netchaplain, I enjoyed this, and this has been on my mind lately. God is always working in us. This is a comforting message. Thanks again!

I'm a newer Christian (so if I say something stupid, take it easy on me, LOL). I've been learning the importance of humility, though if I had it, I'd probably be proud of it.😂 God's word tells us to humble ourselves. There's nothing we can do without God, but since he commands us to humble...

[to God] I know, I know. We are Your chosen people. But, once in a while, can't You choose someone else? Tevye's quote from FIDDLER ON THE ROOF

He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
