Agreed April. Why does the word tell us to "confess our sins one to another"? and why 1 John 1: 9? "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1Jn 2:12–14,19; 3:1; 5:13 make it clear that 1 John was written to...

Dontcha just LOVE how He answers prayers? :) We need each other! God bless bro

Hello Ms. Hepburn! Beauty in simplicity! :) When I do not quite "get" something in The Word, I put it on a shelf and just come back to it later. I've also stopped asking God "why" too...not my business! His ways are perfect, we don't always need to know the why, TG! Glad your back sister!

Ha! Same here Marks. I have gotten into the habit of saying, thank you Lord that you have forgiven me, I am so sorry I grieved your Spirit. Then repent and STOP :)

God is good. Happy for you!

Agreed. Sounds like a lot of "inner self" kind of stuff. Focus not on God but self. And, yeah...very selfish and sounds dangerous :eek:

Not just you bro, I'd like to bury that old man so deep it comes out the other end of the earth and get's lost in space, forever! Don't see how that was considered "bragging"! Aren't we supposed to share what He does for us? And YES, He always makes a way out for us...if we reach out to Him...

Hi John, Yes, I know it was just a definition and you did not write it. "Self surrender" kind of stopped me in my tracks but then I saw it as surrendering to God but, now I'm not so sure...

Hi Pat, Loving ones self is not an easy thing for so many. Yes, we need to believe what He say's about us ❤

Hi John, "belief that union with or absorption into the Deity or the absolute, or the spiritual apprehension of knowledge inaccessible to the intellect, may be attained through contemplation and self-surrender." Not knowing anything about "Christian" Mysticism it seems as though the above...

Hi Erwin, I did start reading some of your book. It is awesome! I will check the rest out after replying or reading some posts. Good job bro.

BINGO!

Oh gosh, I hope you left that place! :mad:

For reals! FRUIT!!!!

Thanks, it's not on the market yet, I have some things being done inside before I do. If God blesses me with this...YAY...if not? YAY, because He has a plan for us! :)

Yes T. You have been through something the large majority of people do not understand. It ran deep and still does for you but, you have such awesome faith in God that it throws me! I am so glad you are out of that and still pray for your husband and grandchild. xo

Good analogy Pat, Now, if only we could accept the forgiveness for ourselves as, we don't deserve it and, don't know about you sister but, old past and forgiven sins still make me cringe...even though I KNOW He has forgiven those sins. Just wish I could STOP criticizing some in my thoughts...

It sounds great. I so miss being in the country. Sigh. God willing, my house will sell this summer. His will is ALL I want and, if He want's me to stay here, in the city, so be it. If we were closer, I could visit you in your "spot" and have fellowship :) I have to run, hope to see you on...

Amen, what you said! You have become so wise Grasshopper! :D

LOVE train whistles in the distance, especially when sleeping. Can't wait for the baby animals! Enjoy your special spot. :)
