Do your friends and family see a "change" in you since you&#

[MeCajunboy]

Do you or your loved ones notice a change for the good in you since you've been saved, or do you find you go back and forth into slumps? Do you stand your ground as a Christian when your gathering of friends at work or elsewhere, begin to gossip about a co-worker, or knock someone that you might particularly like? Do you speak up for them or do you just sit back and let others degrade your friends.

Hi MeCajunboy.

I expect the ones to ask are my loved ones. What I can tell you for sure is that I was a Atheistic Motor Cycle racer that lived for thrills, spills and women untill My Lord Jesus saved me over thirty years ago. I have never once doubted my salvation, in the words of the old hymn "The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows".

And the older I get my friends become more and more important to me.

I believe I accepted Christ at age 4... so I really don't have an answer to your question. I don't think I was noticeably nicer after age 4.

[None]

My language skills can still use more effort, on my part, I'll admit, but what I speak of isn't what I used to speak of. The content of my conversation has significantly changed. If I detect myself slipping into a weakened state, usually with the help of peer pressure, I repeat over and over(in my head), "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, oh Lord, my strength and my redeemer."

i can relate to this as when i was a young christian i would go three steps backwards and two steps forward i found it hard to let go and with in the security industry i was always around old stomping grounds wear people almost gossiped about some one or something was heppening wear you wear almost cought up in the conversations yet as i began to seek god out things began to happen yet i had to get away from those that new me and move to a town wear i could ground my self in gods word the first thing god did when he convicted me i was told to leave those i new in the cross as i worked for the criminals that ran the cross and the strip clubs secondly i had to also let go off my mates that i new since i was 14 yrs old these guys new me as i smoked pot and did everything together from shoting up speed and herroin going to the same partys and so on this was hard as i did not want to let go of these guys we wear blood brother and they new me better than the people new me in the church i found my self in

as i settled i prayed and asked god too put new friends into my path and he did this today i can walk back to the old stomping grounds as these guys have seen a big change in me even the police officers who constantly use to get me for bad behaviour or drunk and disorderly saw the changes with in

i have been back to kings cross sevral times know and thos that use to work the doors are no longer there i have had the chance to reach out on sevral times and when ever i am in sydney i do this

you need to be honest you need to want to change and slowly people wil see this in the work situations i find my self in know i do not try to gossip as it says in gods word it is not good to do this we are to set an example i have no fear in telling people i am a christian and you wil find some wil respect you while others wil almost give you a hard time i do not judge the guys that have nude pin up photos on the wal in the kitchen of naked women i just take them for who they are i have had also the chance to share as sevral have asked and people notice with out you saying anything

my mums side is amazed at the changes as i was the black sheep or the wild boy and my moms brother constantly praises me for the changes he has seen with in me

so i hope this helps from damo1

Oh come on now! everyone's noticeably nicer after age 4!!! LOL

[Fraught]

but seriously, after coming back to God for real this time (2 years ago) yes, people see a change in me.

[Yahweh is salvation]

Yes, they have noticed the change in me. And I do stand up for people, but feel like I could still do more than that.

That's awesome none ! I'm glad to see you are prepared to contain yourself so automatically! You are truly a person of good will and dedication to God!
