I've failed...
brothertoall:
Hello Susan,
According to God's will for your life you have not failed. We all have made mistakes in our lives and I am sure I will make many more myself.
When I first was lead to the truths that God so lovingly and graciously revealed to me I was guilty of the very same thing but I learned from it and I do believe you have too.
Here are some verses that come to mind:
Philippians 3:12-14
12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Proverbs 16:7
7 When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

Dear Patrick, Anne, Dwight, Erik, Gena, Arcturus, and Bob,
I just sat and typed up an extremely indepth email to you all about how all of your adomonitions and encouraging words and truths that y'all shared with me has helped me tremendously to begin to tackle this issue, but... I GOT DISTRACTED AND I GUESS I HIT A BUTTON AND MY LONG DETAILED MESSAGE WENT INTO CYBERSPACE OR SOMEWHERE ??? ??? B/C IT IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND NOW!!! :'( (Now that bothers me b/c I got very deep with you all; now I'm out of time and can't go back and rewrite all of it over again.) :-\
Let me just say that I took EVERY WORD to heart that each of you wrote. Thanks from the bottom of my heart b/c you encouraged me and lifted a big burden that I couldn't have done without all of you. I am now able to look realistically and spiritually at how to deal with my family; I must have been too emotionally attatched to help myself. I am thankful to God for bringing you into my life; y'all were the missing element in my life that I needed and didn't know how to find.... Thank you for your truth, understanding, and love. I am amazed everyday as I read on the forum at how God has blessed me with like minded believers as you are. I appreciate that you were not being judgemental or harsh with me. I now have the truth in my heart to finally try to make things right with 4 individuals and 4 families in my immediate and extended family.
I will now write to my relatives and see what the outcome is. Yes, I must start all over (after I apologise, ask for their forgiveness, and let them know that I love them.) God is in control and His will will be done. I will let you know as soon as I know how they recieved it. I'm waiting for a praise report...
ps- the scriptures were perfect!

Hey Susan!
That has happened to me too :D and it makes me realize that God is causing my circumstances ;D......
As I was reading your post it came to my heart after I read :AND MY LONG DETAILED MESSAGE WENT INTO CYBERSPACE OR SOMEWHERE B/C IT IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND NOW!!! ....that your post, did not go into cyberspace or somewhere....it went STRAIGHT TO THE HEART OF GOD..... ..8) .....
We know that we can do NOTHING without HIM and you give us all to walk in good works HE has pre-ordained for us as you bless us.....and He through you and each other gives us HIS heart and love.
Also we do not have to get puffed up as we keep our eyes on Our Lord keeping His eyes on us!
Peace and love to you my sister
Arcturus :)

Amen sister!
I too thought of that after I had already posted it; yes, God did mean for that message to not get through for some unknown (to me) reason.
That really touched my heart when you said that the message ended up at the heart of God. Wow; very sweet indeed!! (that one I didn't 'get'!) you have a great spiritual insight, thanks!
You are half way around the world from the USA; aren't yall about 8 or so hours ahead of the USA and isn't it dark there right now? Are you African or American and just visiting there? I find it interesting that others are on ths site from so far away from here.
Blessings,
Susan
