lone User ID: 1644220 Netherlands 03/27/2013 05:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I used to be dead..........in my sins. Quoting: KoFFee_ I wanted to be dead...........because of my sins. One day I found out about a Person that I never knew really existed. I still had doubts when my friend told me about Him....... and when her church she invited me to, preached about Him. I asked my friend many questions about this Man, things I couldn't understand. She would never give me an answer to my questions, but in her own quiet way she would say, "you'll find out." Little did I know that a spiritual seed planted in my heart was being watered by our Heavenly Father. As time went on, and after a few more weeks of Sunday sermons, which always seemed like they were written for me only , something compelled me to get up in the middle of the night and pray.......something I never did. I cried out to God, "God, if You are real, help me! Forgive me for my sins, forgive me for all that I've done wrong! I need You in my life to show me love!! I don't know love, and I want to be able to know how to love. If You are truly there, I give you my life, please, come into my heart." Sobbing, I returned to my cot to sleep. When I awoke the next morning, something was different. My sins were a heavy burden that I carried on my shoulders for a long time, but that weight was no longer there. I was viewing life through a different set of eyes - it appeared more beautiful. I felt different, I felt better than I had ever felt my whole life. I was floating on clouds without a care in the world. I felt for the first time, TRULY ALIVE! Where did this come from? What was going on? This has to be God! This has to be Him in my heart! This God is so wonderful, what has He done to me? I was dead, and now I've been made alive! My sins were forgiven! I wanted everyone else to know what God had done.......... Although, it became evident to those closest to me, that I had changed. I still did not understand what had happened, but I knew God was alive and real! This new Spirit in me compelled me to tell everyone those very words--"God is alive!" I was on fire for God, the Holy Spirit had entered new tender ground. It's been years since my "born again" experience and througout my walk in Christ I have found that my fire can become a flicker, but it doesn't die out. It won't. Becoming a new creature in Christ does not take away your sin. You still have to live with it as long as you are in this first earthly body you are given. But just like a parent who loves and disciplines their newborn baby, our Heavenly Father does the same to all who become born again into a spiritual life in Him. We are babies who need milk before we go on to the meat. So He teaches us, through His Word, through people, through prayer. He is molding us, conforming us to the image of His Son. Yes, we are a work in progress, and each of us should be more concerned with our own spiritual discipline and how we are loving and living our life for God than focusing on how others are doing in their's. We can overcome the desire to sin through this new strength and power given to us by the Holy Spirit. Some of us fail more than others, but when we do, it is comforting to know that God will take care of our failures, God will correct us when we do wrong, God will bless us when He so desires, God will guide us into doing what is right. God will never let go. He is constant. He is patient. He is kind. He is slow to anger. He desires our happiness. He can be 100% fully trusted. He is my heavenly Father. He is my friend. He is Divine Love. How can I not want to tell others about Him? When you love someone, you can't help but make it known.

KoFFee_ (OP) User ID: 1373078 United States 03/27/2013 06:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well, I slept on the floor most of the time. The cot was luxury to me. It was similar to an army cot--just a piece of green canvas stretched over a metal frame that folded open. As a result of my past sleeping pattern, I still sleep on a mattress I place on the floor each night. That is what I'm use to.
