I feel Im a failure as a son of our God.

There is no sin that God cannot forgive. Now that you are following Christ Jesus. What you have to do is, going to the person that you can still talk to them face to face and ask them for forgiveness. And others that you don't see anymore sent and have contact someone how sent your forgiveness by letters. When you have done all those. Go down on your knees in your room and thank God for His forgiveness. And also ask God forgiveness for those also that have hurt you real bad. God love the sinner, but not the sin. Help people to come to God for God to clean their souls of sin and find peace.

Amen brother. Remorse is a sign of the activity of the Holy Spirit transforming our heart as in the scripture story of the ‘potter’s clay.’ Glory be to God.

We're all failures.

Romans 8:1-2
"Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death."

God doesn't condemn you. Don't condemn yourself.

Restitution is a good thing when we're able to do it. But when we can't, His sacrifice and grace covers what we cannot rectify.

Hello Danigt22, wrongs that you feel you have done to others you should try to fix whenever possible, but beyond that (when righting a wrong is no longer possible), know that God has forgiven you and move on .. e.g. 1 John 1:9, striving to be more and more Christlike towards others in the future

As the Apostle Paul said,


We are all sick and in need of the Great Physician to make us better, which is what His sanctification of us in this life is all about .. e.g. Mark 2:17; Philippians 1:6, 2:12-13.

Praying for you!

God bless you!

Hello again Danigt22, I used to be the same way, until someone (probably on Christian radio years ago) pointed out something that I hadn't thought of, that doing so showed that I was listening to my feelings (and/or listening to Satan, who uses our feelings about our sin against us) instead of listening to/trusting God & taking Him at His word

God tells us plainly,

While I understood that verse, I wasn't really taking it to heart, because I was still wallowing in my sins (sins which I could no longer do anything about, sins which He had already forgiven and cleansed me of). I was doing so because I was still choosing to listen to my feelings and/or to Satan's lies/deceptions instead of listening to & trusting what God said, IN SPITE of my feelings (it often takes time to "feel" forgiven and cleansed of our sins, even though we know that we already are).

So I began to take those kind of thoughts "captive" .. e.g. 2 Corinthians 10:5 (IOW, I refused to acknowledge them as the truth) and then, in spite of my feelings, chose to believe God instead. It was hard at first, but I believe that doing so, choosing to believe God and taking Him at His word .. no matter what, is the principle way that we fulfill the command to "resist the devil", and then eventually receive the promise that comes along with that command, "and he will flee from you" .. James 4:7

I'd never thought of it before, but what I'd been doing was actually dishonoring to God (because He had never given me any reason to distrust Him or His word). On the flip-side however, choosing to believe and trust God by taking Him at His word is one of the best ways that we can begin to honor Him

Praying for you!

I know what you mean.
prayers.

(You pray for them)

Lord help Danigt22 to put you first in his life. We can't fix the past but with your help we can make a great future. Thanks, in Jesus name, Amen.

Heavenly Father, I ask that You will help this one to forgive himself. None of us are perfect we have all fallen short of what we could have or haven't done? Help Danigt22 and all who have trouble letting their past sins go, In Jesus Name, Amen

I know exactly how you feel, Brother. I'm glad you are grounded in the grace of God. I was reading one of your posts (to someone else) sometime this weekend and it lifted my spirit, it was Christ centered and encouraging. Thank you!

What you really must do is see who or what you love most. If you don't love me you cannot love something that you cannot see. By loving God is to keep His Commandments. Jesus die for us, do you remember the thief on the cross? Read it and put yourself in his shoes. Listen carefully what Jesus is saying to him. You have many brothers and sisters here and anywhere in this world that love you. Real Christians love people not like people. I want you to pray for me.

Danigt22 said:

Thank you all guys. I wish for a good heart, a new one.

The thing is, as a Christian, you already have one, because God has already given you one (a "new heart", that is) .. Ezekiel 36:26-27.

That said, everything that we receive from Him when He changes us is not immediately obvious, which is one of the reasons that He has us come alongside of Him (once He saves us) and work with Him in our sanctification/growth in Christlikeness (as much as we are able to), to "work out" (express outwardly/express in action) the salvation which He has (already) worked into us .. Philippians 1:6, 2:12-13.

God gives us a new nature, but sadly, it's easily eclipsed (to one degree or another) by our old nature/old man/old self, which is why we are commanded to lay aside our old self/old nature, renew our minds, and put on our new self/new nature instead (day by day/moment by moment) .. e.g. Ephesians 4:22-24; Romans 12:2.

And as you continue to grow in Christlikeness, the new heart that God gave you will become more and more obvious, both to yourself and to others

God bless you!

Well the good news is this is probably the Holy Spirit working in your life. And I have it heard it said, that often the most saintly people are the most conscious of their sins.
