| sins & forgiveness |
Ok I shall blog somemore…blog about this impt thing I learn abt sins,forgiveness and repentance…
Not long ago, I found myself with some sins that I categorise as 'big' sins? Haha… then I strayed away from God because I dun dare to face Him…I know He’ll forgive me…but I just cannot face Him..maybe cos He’s too gd n I feel like I let Him down…but thank God..was reading a book and it mentions that we have to learn to forgive ourselves because God as already forgiven us…that’s something I struggle with…my best friend told me I struggle with legalism…tt’s true…i set a std and a set of rules to follow unconsciously…then when I never follow the ‘rules’, I’ll start blaming myself, even when it may not be entirely my fault…something that the devil always manages to use against me..ha…but ya I’m getting out of that and learning to love myself more n learning to forgive myself…no guilt, no condemnation because I’m fearfully and wonderfully made! He has also taken my transgressions from me when He died on the cross..so tt I may be clean and righteous. Thank Him.
Forgiveness..I never knew I can learn so much abt forgiveness. I can never imagine God’s forgiveness for me…and that the simple statement ‘forgive as the Lord forgave u’ actually meant so much and it’s not easy…easier said than done…very true…have u ever been hurt by someone so deeply that each time u see that person or even at the mention of tt person u’re immediately reminded of the things that the person did to hurt u?if u have…tt means u have not truly forgiven that person..much less to talk abt forgetting what he/she did to hurt u.. because u can never forget wad he/she did to hurt u until u’ve truly forgiven that person..only when u’ve truly forgiven that person that u can forget what he/she did to hurt u n u wun see he/she as someone who has hurt u. We’ve hurt God many times with our sins. He is ready to forgive us each time we sin. And when He forgives us, He does not see us as pple whom has hurt Him. We can also forgive as He forgave. We do so with God’s help. Nobody said it’s gonna be easy. But one tip: each time u feel like u can’t forgive that person, think of how the Lord forgave u. It makes it easier to forgive that person.
Hmm kk maybe the things that I just blogged u dun really know what I’m talking about cos I cant phrase them properly and they’re quite random. But in all these months I’m learning a lot a lot…thru the things that I went thru.. I learnt a lot about God, the character of God. All the v deep things? It’s as though God’s doing a work within my heart that I may emerge as someone strong, being able to be confident and to look up. Many things to do for Him and to pray about…He’s been showing me many many areas in my life that I gotta change… So many that I’m afraid that I’ll end up pressurizing myself to change asap because I’m more impatient now. So I pray that He’ll enable me, grant me patience with myself, and help turn my weaknesses into strengths…it’s ok if u duno wad I’m talking about these few posts. Catch wadever u can. But one thing I realized. Many of us lead messed up lives messed up by satan in this world. We all need God to help us. Don’t give up all!go go jiayou!!
