If only....

If only I could truly believe this, if I could truly embrace this in my heart, wouldn't it change my life? My whole christian life has been one of abstract failure, a venture in futility. If I could really embrace this for me, wouldn't it keep me from reaching for everything under the sun to make me feel alive?!

Candlemass;What is keeping

Candlemass;

What is keeping you from embracing it? Whether or not you embrace it, it is still true. He does love you that much!!

Sometimes, when we fail, that's when we have to trust Him the most -- trust that His love will not fail, and it won't.

Candlemass; I think you've

Candlemass;

I think you've made a wise decision, and I'm proud of you that you're taking this step. I will be praying for you on this.

I know that it seems too good to be true, but that's when faith becomes so important. Faith is believing in God's promises even if they seem too good to be true. Abraham had faith, and it was counted to him for righteousness (Rom. 4:3).

I went, but I don't think

I went, but I don't think I'm going to go back. I've spent much of my life in an endless maze of trying to find out what drove me into the addiction, I have gained some insights....big deal! None of those insights helped me stop, they did not make porn any less desireable, besides, after a while the addiction takes on a life of it's own, the initial reason no longer matters. One thing I do agree w/Steve Gallagher is, the why really doesn't matter, repentance is the only way out.
