I am awed by the vision that you had! That was truly of God. I am with you on your feelings of the hurt and pain that we have caused Christ, yet I believe just as you that He loves us inspite of ourselves. I do believe though that once we accept Christ as our Lord and Savior, He calls us to be changed. He calls us to be new, different. We will continue to sin, but the differenece is that we admit that what we have done is wrong, and we ask God to forgive us. We cannot ask for forgiveness with the intentions of simply going back out and doing the same thing again. We as Christians should strive to live a sinfree life, for in reality, Christ is our ultimate role model. I am a Christian. I love the Lord with all of my heart. I am not a boylover. I have freinds who are. I have spoken many hours with them. I do work with kids all the time, in fact I work at a church in an activities ministry. I love kids. I love them with the love of the Lord. It is a pure love, not a sexual love. This love, there is no wrong in, however, the sexual love is the problem. Many people claim to love children and that it should be ok b/c God loves us, but there is a major difference. I want to encourage you to continue to listen to God. He has many things that He wants to share to you. I believe that He is bringing you to a place where He is going to reveal Himself to you in a mighty way!! That is exciting. I further believe that He is then going to equip you to minster to others that are struggling just as you have. That, I believe is why God has allowed you to suffer the way you have, and that is why He has been convicting you the way He has. It is exciting to see that God is preparing you and training you to reach out to others. God bless you brother, I am here for you and would be more than willing ot talk to you, as well as pray for you! My email addy is Gods_child4life@hotmail.com |
