Life hurts

Dude, you have no idea how much this sounds familuar. I been through that so many times. It took three years in and out of studying God's true Word before about two and a half years ago I took it very seriously. And yes I had bad people around me at all times getting me to drink and get high and other things that I will not get into. LOL! just use your imagination then again DON'T. Well God does use evil to acomplish what is needed and looking back at these things I am so greatful. I thought I was the best person in the word because I found the truth of God's Word and I thought I was better than anybody else especially people in the church. God had to show me that I am no better than anybody else and that it was grace that makes me who I am and not I. I finally relized that after three years and let me tell you, I was thinking the same thing you was Bro. I am confident that you are walking the right path and remember this verse and I am done. Here it is:
Ephesians 2:10
10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
So when we don't want to sin we sin away because it is God who through His spirit that shine a light on us to stop sinning and guilt is one of the results of God's spirit working on us with grace.
God bless, Rob (blakparty)

G. Driggs:
Wow you really hit the nail on the head Rob! You have described me very accurately. What a shameful mess I was, kinda like the parable of the Prodigal Son. Hopefully like the Prodigal Son, I too will repent and begin to love and obey God. Thanks for the Scriptures and the encouragement.
Peace, G.Driggs

Dear Bro Driggs, just read your post and could not control my tears. You are not alone. I do find life hard and I to wish I could stop sinning. I am terribly vexed with sin. I think I am the worst of sinners. God knows our hearts and he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins. I await the day when I shall see my Lord Jesus face to face and He will comfort me and make things right. God be with you, Gene
Ninny:
Oh Gene, you're definitely NOT the worst! Get in line...right behind me.... :-\
