Have you ever left lost and unsure?
This was me exactly 4 months ago. A newborn in Christ, I was unsure about everything, being born again was my life literally. I chose Christ and abandoned everything I knew, the problem with this for me was I allowed God to destroy everything about my past, but expected the rebuilding of me to be done in a day. Like a newborn baby, I needed time to grow but me being the overzealous character I am. I decided to take matters into my own hands and came into contact with Religion. Being religious is putting your salvation into your own hands and that's why we feel so frustrated when we don't get things right. All these factors as you can tell led to me having identity crisis, having to constantly question my salvation. Not knowing how to act, and most especially trying to mimic other Christians. The constant question used to drive me to insanity "Am I christian enough", I kept constantly comparing myself to others. Comparing my salvation, revelation, serving and even gifts. I didn't like contemporary gospel music, I learn more watching a cartoon or a movie interpretation than the normal YouTube sermons. I used to beat myself and tried to change who I was. How did i overcome this? Through God's love, I realized that what makes me different is not a burden but a blessing. The key thing is to let go and let God. Here are some verses that helped me: Comparing yourself to others? Romans 12:4 For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function Ephesians 4:16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. 1 Corinthians 12:12 Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. Worrying about your Salvation? John 15:5 I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:16 You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you. Matthew 7:7 Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. Struggling in Sin? John 8:11 She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "I do not condemn you, either. Go. From now on sin no more. Deuteronomy 4:29 But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul. Joel 2:12 That is why the LORD says, "Turn to me now, while there is time. Give me your hearts. Come with fasting, weeping, and mourning I pray that everyone who read this shall be blessed. Lord I pray that you shall do the work that needs to be done in each and every soul that encounters this post. Want to talk to me? Email: [email protected] Name: Stephanie
