Dear friend, the one I once sinned with.....

My Dearest Friend,


No I haven't forgotten you. I've been studying about right and wrong,
about what is really the right things to do in life and what we all must
avoid so as to not place ourselves in the consequences of things which
would result in harm to self and others. I am learning to choose my steps
more wisely.


There are things in this life that really do need to be avoided. And if
we don't allow good sense to direct us away from the wrong things in life,
things that lead us away from safe haven, then we are only giving into
that which leads us into trouble. I don't want any trouble of my own
doing. I have enough of it being thrown at me from outside forces. So
why be ignorant and create my own demise? Ya know what I mean?

I hope you are also walking away from options that lead to self ruin. I
really do hope you are taking care and being full of wise choices in your
life and in effecting the lives of those around you.


Merry "Christ"-mass!
It's all about why he came to this earth!
to show us how to overcome, how to resist that which would lead us into
trouble.

I am learning. I feel so much better now that I am not living in sin.
I have learned how to say no to that which is not just-living. Justice is
the key, and the Righteousness in the goodness of what God wants for all
of us. To live righteously, according to living without doing things that
result in guilt, without doing thing that result in transgression toward self
and others. I am learning to live without acting on the snare of sin. I
have a healthier sense of hoping for things that are void of sin, and have
been praying for you to do the same. Because the truth is...... to live
without acting on the thing that says to sin..... IS the process of becoming
that which you hoped for all along! You do the right thing and your
reward is forthcoming. Long-suffering is not anything but the father's
discipline for the child he loves. You know that much. I know. So too
are we children (in the eyes of God) that need much discipline with long-
suffering, for in order to come to see the goodness and the rewards of
it. :)


I'm not corny or a religious nut! I am being wise! with using much logic
and good sense! It is the difference between right and wrong, and you
know it! Right? Right... I know you do.... :) So then....you in ALL of
your sweet heart! Be well, and accept the things you cannot change and
change the things you can, but don't hurt anyone in the process, not even
yourself.


Just understand the value of long-suffering and discipline. It is well
worth it!



Much love,

Merry "Christ" mass!



Truly your friend,

Relic :)

Thanks for your honest genuine concern...But...

Please do not pray that prayer for me, that is not my goal.
Please pray instead that I might accept and live with the things I cannot change, (that are in me that) I would rather not be there that the Lord has chosen not to remove?

Please pray that I might stand up under them?
1 Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
Please pray that:
2 Corinthians 11:30
If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.
Please pray that: Christ's power may rest on me.
2 Corinthians 12:9
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

Thanks in advance.
 
Windozer,

What does this mean?

Are you refering to sins that God will not remove?

I hope not. :o

I could be: But I am referring to anything that God chooses not to remove. Something you have no control over Robert.

I prefer to let scripture speak for its self. So take it as it reads.

Note that you and I have been through this before, and nothing you have posted has changed my mind. I have told you that I will not continue to go in circles with you, and I meant it.

Be well Robert?
 
As I was reading this thread, I've seen the value of the first post but I've also noticed the harm it could cause. I might have missed the point intended but there are some things (and people) we need to stay away from and losing all contact is not necessarily a bad thing. As the old saying goes, let dead dogs lie. That doesn't mean we don't care about that person's well being but for the good of both, ties should be permanently severed.
