You say that you've talked to your friends about what is going on. And what they say to you is that I am trying to eat my cake and eat it too.
As an outsider who doesn't know me, it would appear to be that way. I don't blame them. But it's all depending on who you talk to. A person who has never experienced true love or a deep love, doesn't understand the concept that a person can be sorry and remorseful of their actions; that a person can repent.
Jesus loves us and though we may waver away at times, He will still forgive time and time again if we are truly sorry for our actions.
I am a man who has been transformed by my sin. You may think I wanted to "have my cake, and eat it too" but you don't know me. See, I have Jesus in my life. Yes I did make some choices that I am now reaping, but I have learned my lesson. I learned my fault and made the proper corrections. And although I'm trying to make things better, I know what path will lead to hardship and heartache.
So don't judge a book by it's cover. But maybe, you also got your cake, and ate it too.
Jesus has already forgiven you ... all you have to do is ask for his forgiveness.
ReplyDeleteMaking bad choices and decisions are a way for us to learn what is right and what is wrong.
We can only hope that our faith and love in God and Jesus will give us the strength to not make those bad choices again.
Put forth your faith and take it a step at a time. A day at a time. It'll get better.
God bless Ervin.
My best,
Me.
