YES!! God created us to have a will of our own so, there's always inconvenience when we are trying to align our wills and desires to that of GOD's and there's this "self" which tries to react/respond in varied ways (at times in very unpleasant ways which even we ourselves don't like) when you...

We, as Christians, are called to be blameless and also wise. If your wisdom/sense, hints you to wear a mask, then you need to. Also, if there's a mandate to wear a mask as part of restrictive measures Governments are taking, then Scripture says you need to adhere to it: Romans 13:1 - Let...

Sanctification is the work of God which involves our cooperation. Romans 15:16 - "... sanctified by the Holy Spirit" Romans 8:13 - "...but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live"

When I disciplined myself to fix this :pointup:, everything else fell in place. I suffered (still suffer at times) from anxiety and depression, my strength has proven only to be enough for me to survive and not to live and enjoy the life that was/is given to me. I needed to rely on a greater...

True! For me, in most cases, it so happened that when I poured out my heart to God, I never felt the "need" to share it with others. When I tell HIM and feel heard, I wouldn't go to the second. I don't say it happened with all the stuff.. but, largely! Bonding and fellowshipping with others...

Yes, we do need to trust people in our everyday living. But, whether we will choose to trust a person or not depends on how trustworthy he/she proved themselves to be. Some are more trustworthy than others, depending on their personalities, personal convictions, make & motives. However, the...

I was talking about "studying the Bible Vs. possessing one". :blush:

No, you are not! You just didn't happen, you are made! You are a heritage, a fruit of the womb, a reward from above, irrespective of how the recipient feels about it. (Psalm 127:3 - Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward) The story of "you" began much...

:grinning::grinning:

We CANNOT experience the true victorious Christian living WITH OUR BIBLE CLOSED! A believer manoeuvring in this evil & sinful world, with a closed Bible, is like driving a vehicle in terrifying dense darkness, on an unknown road, with failed headlights! Psalm 119:105 - Thy word is a lamp unto...

Yes and we are also told that it was created and designed to be between the Husband and the wife, ie., within marriage. Sex is a gift, but only in the confines of marriage. By relying on the strength of the Holy Spirit residing in us and by doing all that is in our power to "flee from" and...

Fully agree!

Well, not "how" & "when" I expected but, YES, I asked and received.

Well, they understand forgiveness totally wrong then. Forgiveness doesn't mean you stay with him no matter what, excuse him, believe his next promise and take it lying down. Forgiveness and choosing to live with him are two different things.

Friend, when you believe that prayers will be answered, you might want to choose to pray that His will be done in your life and that you will have the strength to accept His will for your life whatever that might be! Whatever you are going through right now, hang in there, HIS grace is...

@YanaMarkova , you are one brave & strong woman! God loves you and your child. He is very close to the brokenhearted, weak & crushed in the spirit. He sustains the fatherless and holds the abandoned close to Him. You and your child's life matter to him. He is mindful of you and is very much...

It's hard. But, God knows you, your every need and desire. Things will happen in due time. Don't miss your present waiting for the future. Cherish your present, do whatever is in your strength, be patient and stay close to God. If this is how God want your life to be at present, He will provide...

It means that the person is taking God and his grace easy, forgetting: Galatians 6:7 - Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.

Been there, done that. For me, it was close to 8 years. God promised He will, but He didn't let me have a clue on "when". But, during that waiting period, "those things that he still does which we are truly grateful for" as you said, kept me going. I felt those are nothing but He letting us...
