Condemnation

Hi all,

Hapy new year!

You noe i have been reflecting since church camp and i come to a conclusion of God does not condemn us, who are we to condemn to condemn ourselves as in seriously...

During the prayer at camp, my cell leader prayed that i would be able to forgive myself to after sinning against God cause GOD HAS already forgiven us... then i was reminded of a sermon by my church saying that sinning against God can brings 2 outcomes:
1. Guilt
2. Shame

And there is a very very very fine line between... the 2... Guilt draws us towards God for forgiveness while sin drives us away from God....

So, this week has been a bad week for me in a sense that I have been facing temptation in many areas and been falling in many of them.. And the past week i have been feeling: DIE LA HOW TO WORSHIP GOD.. HOW TO PRAISE HIM ... and i have been reminded that in his mercy and grace we all have been forgiven and should forgive ourselves and not condemn ourselves...
But at the same time we must not take His grace, mercy and blood for granted.. They were free for us but to God it cost him his son ... so if we really love him we MUST treasure these gifts his has given us.

SO I WANT TO PRAISE AND THANK YOU LORD FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE IN MY LIFE AND FOR THE BLOOD OF JESUS WHO HAS CLEANSED ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you lord help me live a life that is pleasing until you..

God demands perfection .. but we are imperfect and weak soo the very least we HAVE oto give him our very very very best!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think these things would be my resolution for the year
1. Be thankful for the blood of Jesus
2. APPRECIATE it (boy this would be hard)
3. give my best and all to God

Haha 3 resolution which are almost impossible to keep if I dont have God's strength!!

Wait correct these resolution ARE impossible to keep if God doesnt help me
