Salvation You know? I
tried my very very
best all my life
to think or try
to be what other
people call good.
Well I just couldn't do
it, no matter
what I did. If I
didn't cuss, then I
drank, if I didn't drink,
then I didn't tithe, If I
thythed, I was
mean to my kids,
and so on. Well, it
says in the bible
right in the bible
that "All our righteousness is as filthy rags before the
lord." And it
means without Christ we
are just not righteous no
matter how "good"
somebody seems.
We are well I guess I'd better speak for myself. The
only thing "good" about me are my
intentions. I'm a mess without Christ. And even
with Christ I
am in a constant
struggle.
"It's
a constant struggle."
I get some
half cocked idea into
my head, and so
I act on it, and at
a later time, I hang my head in shame wondering what
in the world I could of
been thinking.!
The bible also says "Who sover will." That means to me that whosoever will believe in God will have salvation. Not everyone will give their hearts to God, and Christ. Some people like to imply that there is such a thing as predestination. Well if that's so then God's a liar, because it says that we have free will. So what do you think?
We think we are being
virtuous when we stay in a
relationship that is
totally destructive, because God
said? God said? Is it really love to be constantly
at
each others throats? Do we really think
that it's for
the best for the children? I
can't tell you how many
nights at home when I was a little girl, I cried myself
to sleep because my mother was being
mistreated.
Now I come from the other
side.....I have been married
more then
once. Several times. The reason is I was so
mentally beaten down from sexual assault as a child I
had no self esteem. And further more I
"assumed"
because I
would never lie about who am, and what I am
that
everybody would do the same. I always found
very
needy men who were practicing alcoholic's or
practicing
drug additcts, and because I was so wonderful and under-
standing, loveing kind, and generous we were going to
"get well together" and walk off into the sunset.!
Ha!
talk about an ego trip?
Salvation? It's not
anything I've ever done, or any-
thing I ever
will do. I simply surrendered to christ, and
"let Christ" do the work in me. Oh, yes I have to
make
choices but for years all my choices were bad ones. But
God loved me anyway. No it's what God does in us, not
what I'm going to do other
then simply believe in God.
And according to the
bible I didn't do that on my own
either.
No, It's God's work in me, not my work in
him.
