All I need to do is Glorify God!!!
Wow, just read my last post after I have calmed down a bit. I feel really bad, the vulgarity I used , I was venting, but... no excuse. Although it did feel kind of good to get it out a bit, but still wasnt glorifying my Lord. There is a way to get bad things put w/out using the vulgarity, and still glorify Him. I love the Lord and want nothing more than to just be a follower of Him, a true, honest, dedicated, give ALL the glory to Him, follower. I asked the Lord to direct me in editing my last post, I think its ok now. I rededicated my life last night, I was really off track for a bit. I hate that this could happen to someone, its so easy to to fall back into old ways, myself, Jess, anyone. God didnt say it would be easy, and let me tell you, being a christian is the hardest thing I have ever done, but the best decision I have ever made. I want to Glorify Him in all I do. Its not where I come from , or where I have been, Its who I am today and what I am doing today. I am saved by His grace and His blood, I know I have my ticket into Heaven. But I need to live my life His way not mine, I need to be pure in His words. I know I cant lose my salvation by my acts, but why on earth would I want to hurt the one who has saved me from complete damnation. So if you are wondering why I have edited my prior post, ( that is if you read it before today) this is why, you just read it. Jesus lives, loves, and saves lives. Im proof.

I am glad that you are saying that being a christian is not the easiset but the best thing you have done. I hate it when pastors try to candy coat things to make you think if you become a christian everything is going to be just hunky dory. I pray that when anyone gets saved they would know that it is not easy but worth it.
I agree. Following Christ is a call to die to self, and that should never be sugar coated. God will give you direction, purpose, and joy... but the road will not be easy. There will be opposition. There will be persectution.
"If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you..."
~ John 15:20
Jesus did not make it make it sound sugar coated at all.
"If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me."
~ Matthew 16:24
Jesus promises us trouble and tribulations:
"These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world."
~ John 16:33
