Public Apology to the Lord

God has the ability to liberate us under any circumstance that we may feel is hectic on us. The under-driven guilt of all my sins is ever consuming me like a drug. My fallen moments arise from lacking trust in myself at the given moment of not receiving what I desire. The Bible says in Proverbs 3:5, "Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding." (NASB) It's a very simple concept that requires us to pray consistently to Christ who reigns in heaven. Eph 6:18 says, "With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints," (NASB) and 1 Thes 5:17 says to "pray without ceasing" (NASB). It's difficult in all of us to give trust over to the Lord sometimes. We find that perhaps, life would be better if we proposed improvements on things we knew about. 1 Cor 1:27 says, "But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong" (NASB). We live our lives sometimes for pleasing only ourselves and find that it's a direction that leads away from the Lord.

Being a person with opinions, it's relatively hard to stay logical and if you are my sister, to never stop relying on your feelings. I have come to accept that my hard stubborness is only a defensive mechanism to excuse myself with being selfish. I don't need to add onto the Bible what it's saying, and only need to rely on God's grace. The Bible is a comprehensive manual of how to live and to manage with receiving the provisions of God.

To be of one mind with Christ, it takes commitment and self-discipline. I feel that others may want to impose that Christianity is a religion that labels a certain people and putting on a security blanket with no absolute proof of what they are believing. It worries me a little because Jesus is a real person who died on the cross. The case of how the tomb of Jesus became empty with two Roman soldiers standing watch should be convincing enough to be an intriguing case in history. Philosophical arguments are not needed in the case of the empty tomb. One just needs to put together all the pieces of what really happened in reference to the Jewish culture.

It's time for me to pray and feel like I'm jumping over countless hurdles until I can overcome the limitations with a blessing that I seek. Right now, it's about struggling without sex as a single man. God has called me to save my virginity for the woman he has allowed me to marry in the future. The marriage bed will be pure and a very joyful moment when that time comes. The end of the race will have its fruitful moment. Never too late to repent from a swinger's lifestyle or addiction to porn. It's been very evil of me to heighten my sexual desires for my own merit. I have to accept that I will have down times as a sexual creature. A new dawn is coming, and a new life has started and it's time to thank the Lord for this day! "Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things are passed away; behold, new things have come." (2 Corinthians 5:17).
