This is not a group question, but food for personal thought. Think and be honest the first thought that came to your mind. Who is God to you? Just throwing them out there. Be brief as possible Ok I realize the question is a little spooky. Let me start with me. My life was a botched wreck and I needed reason for my life. Even though I did not know God I needed to believe that he was real. I saw evil people get away with everything so who was to judge the right or the wrong less there be God. I was deep in a hole and no way out, I either reached up or die in my shame. Before that I was blind. Thought of church people as hypocrites. It was some thing only good people did.

Only by the grace of God am I able to eat at His table. This world stinks and I'd like to see as many as possible make it into the next. He is my saviour. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disgusted myself, and did not like who I was. I'm still terrible, but i'd like to think i'm less terrible now. I certainly still need work. God is my light and my salvation. It is only through the grace of God that I have improved; I hope to one day experience the peace of mind that I seek, and when chance arises, encourage others to seek that serenity as well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I understood this, I then suddenly realised that there HAS to be an opposing side of good and God. Who would have thought that satan's works could be used to bring light to the lost? That must drive him mad! Hehe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That must drive him mad! Hehe please enlighten some. Jesus is the light of the world. In Him there is no darkness. those who love the darkness hide from the light. we talk of the forces of darkness in the world and hold captive those who need to come out. Most everything we do is of addiction. A cigarette. a cup of Coffee. sugar. the way we dress. Not all addiction is evil, but it controls us The alcoholic, drugs addicts. Ive been there and done that. Some here need to listen. I was addicted to porn, pain killers. Even after I got saved it was a battle. I am delivered now and I look back to what was then. I now can see how these forces controlled my mind and the way I thought. Your mind will justify it needs. It tells you its all right. You can handle it. This is total mind control. Im free now and thank God He set me free. Now we live in the light and never want to go back. This is why we come to the Light of Jesus and never want to leave Him. We see now our relationship is not just casual. He is our life. Edited March 13, 2019 by Mike Mclees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is only through the grace of God that I have improved; I hope to one day experience the peace of mind that I seek, and when chance arises, encourage others to seek that serenity as well. Well, I'm here to pray for you! And before I got to this point of being here to read your post, I was thinking I am here because I be quiet in order to see what God will do with me, and I found myself being brought here. So, this is my present tense why I am here. How could I know which forum and posting place to go to? God could guide me here ? You are not by yourself; we all have needed great correction by God. And it is good how we see things that are wrong in us, instead of being in denial. But, also, we need to not only guilt-trip ourselves, but trust God to do all we need. And be satisfied because we really have trusted God who cares and does love us. But He loves His children, by correcting us! And be more positive, I would say, by using your sin problems to help you feel for others > "He can have compassion on those who are ignorant and going astray, since he himself is also subject to weakness." (Hebrews 5:2) And as God proves Himself in you, changing you to be better in His love, now have hope for this for any and all other people. I think of this > you might be brow-beating yourself about things which are not the most important to God. What you are looking at might be keeping your attention away from what is deeper and needing correction of what causes problems. Also, someone might be criticizing oneself for what is not a main issue with God > maybe criticizing oneself for wasting time by watching too much TV, but the person is paying no attention to his or her arguing which the Bible says is clearly anti-love > Philippians 2:13-16. Another thing ones might do is criticize what has kept them from living the way they want > I'm not saying you are doing this, but > one guy asked me why God didn't take away his gambling problem > well, if God did that, he might have enough money to go drinking and womanizing and get himself killed > instead, God wanted him and all his life, not only to stop one problem behavior. So, you might feed on this > God wants you, God loves you. And Jesus is not conceited. Jesus is so superior; yet, Jesus left Heaven itself in order to come here on earth in order to reach us and rescue us and share with us as His own family. Jesus died with hope for any wrong person, at all. So, Jesus has hope for you!!! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
