Im going to put it into a nutshell. When i was 14, i got saved. I loved Jesus. Had a very close relationship with God. One day i gave into the world and wanted to be like everyone else, leaving God behind. 5 years later, i am trying to seek God again. I tried repenting. I feel nothing. No renewal. No desire to read the bible or to try and understand scripture. I just still wanna be my old self, but in a way i also wanna follow God and be holy. I dont get it. Why dont i feel anything.. shouldnt you suddenly have a passion for Jesus after repenting, like the one i gained many years ago? Makes me wonder if God spewed me out of his mouth and just doesnt want anything to do with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't depend on how you feel. You need to start back into the word, even if you don't "feel" like it. The fire will grow again I promise you. Come here often, and more important just sit and talk to God. He knows your heart and He is waiting. He will never leave you or forsake you. Blessings, RustyAngeL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glory to God With love-in Christ,Kwik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that if you whisper His name He will fill you with His love to let you know that He is right there with you. He is waiting for you to come close again, Jesus brought you here to Worthy to get connected with other Christians who love to prayer for and with you! You will find that nothing in this old world can satisfy you, only Jesus can and He wants to be nr 1 in your life, so when you come to Him ,He will show you little by little through the Holy Spirit how to have a super close relationship with Him,you do know that the phone line with heaven is always open? Jesus is knocking and when you let Him in,He will fill you with His peace which the world will never be able to give you,don't live by feelings,live by every word of God,feelings trick you, and Gods Word does never change. If there is anything I can do to help you ,please let me know,I love to pray with and for you! So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
