Hi Everyone, Good Morning. I started to read chapter 3 last night and could not even get past the first few paragraphs before I began crying. Oh how often I feel this way. I still do and I have started to give everything to God for a minute then I just have to take it back ( IN control thing). I will be finishing the chapter today and hope my eyes are not swollen together by the end. LOL I so bad want my life to change and be one of God children that people and see Him in me with everything I do, it makes me cry at night wanting it so bad, but then the devil comes and whispers in my ear and says how can he love and use you with all the things you have done in your life He even took you son you were so bad. Don’t even think He could ever Love you. I know in my head it is not true but it has not really got to my Heart yet. Hurting so bad . thanks for listening . In Christ love
Hi, Angela! Praying the truth of God’s great and deep love for you gets from your head to heart. Don’t listen to those lies about God not loving you. Whew! He gave His only Son to die for you (and all of us) and you are valuable. Don’t allow yourself to be robbed from. Have you received Christ as your Lord and Savior? If not, He is waiting with open arms. If you have, cling tightly to His strong, righteous right hand and keep your eyes, heart and mind fixed on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of your faith. May you come to know Jesus deeply as your healer. I pray for wholeness for you – spiritually, socially, emotionally, mentally, and physically – by the stripes Jesus bore for you. May Angela be set free during this study. In Jesus’ Name, Amen! God bless you richly.
Love,
Because of Jesus,
Cindy
Hi Cindy, Yes I have received Christ as my savior and Lord. In November 2012 Again and have renewed my baptism vows. I have joined a church that I felt at home the first time I entered the doors and still do. The people are all God centered and encouraging to every one who enter the doors. I do cling tight to Him and His word its just I’m still new to really giving my life over to Him in action and not just saying I do to make people happy. When I lost my son in October 2011 I knew I needed to change my life forever no matter what it took or what I had to give up and I’m on my way. I study, read and talk of Him and His work everyday and I always am in church and I cook every Wednesday night and help when ever time something comes up at church. I feel whole and the happiest when I’m at my church. But I still hear the words in my head and I want them to stop. I keep praying and I know the will but they still play with my heart. Thank you for your prayer and please continue to pray for me I’m praying for everyone in this study also. Thank you for caring for a stranger in Christ love always.
