Sorry all, I've been in italy and I have a lot of reading to catch up on, including this thread.

Forgive me for my briefness, I did skim many of the replies but I havn't given them the attention they deserve. I return back on thursday of this week to the states. I will, God willing, then be able to give a proper response.

With love,

Alex

You can's live in that endless cycle of self reproach and self loathing. That shows me that you don't really belief that God made you sinful. He did. You are a sinner. It's not your fault. What you need to concentrate on is the thing that God is dealing with right at this moment.

Psa 119:105  NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my

The light of his word doesn't light up the entire journey, only the next step. Pay attention to the small things, because God is trying to teach you "in the moment". Not later, not tomorrow, but right now. You do not have the right or authority to judge nor condemn yourself because your own judgement is unrighteous and not merciful..

Jas 2:13  For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

Then as you have had the dealings of God in that area, it no longer has authority over you and you have learnt to overcome in that area. It will be hard, but the flesh must die. Then as you have learnt the wisdom of God for that area, you can now say...

Psa 119:11  Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.  8)

Great and helpful life lessons from each member.
Thanks for the sharing and the insights it provides.
This is how "iron sharpens iron" as brethren comfort one another in love.
We are so blessed in our challenging journey with God.

One scripture that has help me in "this walk" is from the Rotherham's Emphasized Bible Romans 8:4-6 {In order that *the righteous requirement of the law* might be fulfilled in us- Who*not according to flesh do walk*, but according to spirit; For *they who according to flesh have their being*. But* they according to the spirit *The things of the spirit*; For* what is preferred by the flesh is death, Whereas * what is preferred by the  spirit *is* life and peace. Just wanted to add my brain to this! Tim
