Baptism?

[livingforGod135]

hey

well i dont know if this is the right place for this but anyway, it has some relevance

i really wanna get baptised i mean i want to show every1 that i have given my life ova to God plus God has placed it on my heart for me to do this

thing is i dunno, i think it may be being a bit hypocritical because i cut myself yet there i would be saying i live for God, but since when would God want me to hurt myself??

then i think i am letting this control me way too much... i mean the last 2 n a half years i have let it (like sleeves, not going out, shutting people out =( ) but now letting it stand in the way of what God wants me to do is going way too far... then i think im using it as an excuse cuz i am also a lil scared =s

anyway yeah advice and/or prayers would be heaps appreciated

Knowing what baptism is all about personally, you might consider the decision to follow through with it as a step of faith toward a better life for yourself. That is to show that in your heart between you, God, and those that witness the baptism, your intentions to walk in the Spirit of the Lord and not after the flesh. Your true hope is to give up harming yourself because that lifestyle is filled with lies and cheats you out of the best things that God would have for you. It would be a way of saying, I want to live a different life. One that would honor God and could change me enough so that I could actually know God enough to feel His love, compassion, and gentleness, etc..., and to experience His peace, His joy, His patience and all the abundance of riches He has for His children. Like I've said before, God doesn't want His children to be broken and hurt. He came to rescure, deliver, and heal each one.
