Countering Counter-Bargains

[Hermit7]

Greetings All,

Over time, I've set up a certain "system" that I use in order to cope with my OCD, which essentially a system to "negate" any bargains that occur in my mind revolving around bargaining away my salvation for something.

Well, I was ordering something online (a duvet cover) and a thought came into my mind that may or may not have been taken into account by the "system" I developed.

Now I'm worried.

I just want to know one thing--I don't want to lose my salvation for doing what I did. I know God knows that; that's why I set up that "system".

But what if, for that one moment, something slips in that my "system" can't accomodate and, even though I don't mean that thought now--what happens if I meant it then, during that moment when it happened.

Is God going hold me to it?

I don't know.

The Lord knows your heart. He knows how much you love Him. He loves you so much, and always will. He will not hold you to something you did not mean. If we do something that hurts the Lord, we can tell Him we are sorry, ask Him to forgive us and He does. Cast all your cares on Jesus for He cares for you.

God bless you lots.
