Between Sinner and Saint

[cory_a_jenk]

Hi! I have been diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder back in 05. It took me many years to learn how to forgive myself and to trust others and not act on the voices that I hear from time to time.
Now I am stable on my medication, but in the previous years I hadn't always been. In fact, I felt that I had blasphemed the Holy Spirit and it took some ways to find hope again.
Now I look at it as the Apostle Paul did and simply say, "For I do not even judge myself..."
I feel that is the best approach I can do and less self-condemnation that I can give. Otherwise, it would simply be worldly sorrow and not godly sorrow.
I look forward to reading some of your threads and I introduce myself as Cory

I was diagnosed 2012, but I started hearing voices back when I was 18/9. I went three years without medication until I got diagnosed, and I have been on medication ever since. I have trouble judging myself for my thoughts and and some of my actions that I had while psychotic, and saying that you don't even judge yourself are wise words. I don't think I'll get to that point any time soon, but it would be nice if I did.

Why judge yourself when you can repent and give it to God and be free of it? Jesus has already judged the world, you will be forgiven so just repent and let it go. Worry is what takes the place when there is a lack of faith and worry equals stress and stress equals cancer. Don't kill yourself worrying over what is forgiven. Know that God has mercy on the sick. He reads your heart and knows you at your souls core. God loves you because you care and you love Him also. Be good to yourself and try not to worry. Everything is going to be ok in the end and if things aren't ok- then it isn't the end.

God came in the flesh not to condemn you Cory, but to save you from the judgment. God the Father in heaven loves you Cory, he died for your sins, that if you believe he is Jesus Christ, you will not be condemned in the judgment but have everlasting life.

Much love to you.
