Wholly brokenness

 This post will be done in installments. 4-13-03. Feels like a lifetime ago. The journey to Christ officially began. I never would have predicted how much my life has changed because I made a choice to be free.   What’s changed since. My mindset. I still have days where I question why. More than I want to admit. These days, I stay because of who He is, not who I am. I’m still learning I can’t judge the character of Christ because of those who profess Him. I’ve had to read the Bible for myself, and trust. I ask as I tell this story, be gentle. I’ve thought of keeping it private, but if it brings Glory to Him, I will do it. My journey to Christ was never in doubt to Him, it was to me. I never thought I’d get tired of fighting my flesh. I still fight it every day. I’m fighting it right now. Shedding the pride is very hard. I’m trying to tell the story perfectly, and that may be the hindrance I’m facing right now. I’m finding that the path to Him isn’t narrow and straight. It has stops and starts. The brokenness that brought me here, is joining me once again. Remove the pride that hindered my path to You then, and the pride that is reappearing now

    I know what you mean. But once you are there you can't go back. 💙

    I’ve followed the Lord more than 40 years and I was on my knees earlier this week crying and repenting of my failures. The word tells us to ‘work out our salvation’ and I believe it’s a daily thing. He knows your heart and He calls you His child. He cherishes you! Keep seeking Him.

    Pride is difficult. I think it's good to have a little, but the right kind. Each day brings new things for me to repent of. I'm so grateful that I serve a living God who loves me.
    Blessings,

    The path isn't always easy, but it's worth the effort.

    Have a fabulous day, Regine. ♥

    Dearest Regine,
    Nobody's path through life will be smooth and without bumps in the road.
    I've been lucky for having been raised a Roman Catholic and I've never ever deviated and still go that road. It is very comforting to know that it got passed down by my ancestors and they all lived it.
    That also is comforting that their souls are still near us and no doubt protect and guide us.
    Hugs,
    Mariette

    Everyday is a journey with God, learning what he wants us to know, growing in faith and trusting, that can be the hardest trusting his timing and his will. We are sure to have setbacks but he is always waiting there for us to listen to what he has next for us!

    I always have questions and sometimes I get answers. It' s long journey with God. Sometimes it's easy, other days it is not but onward we all go. Thanks for sharing this post.

    When I look back in my life and focus on what God has done in it, including what man could not do, then nothing would divert me away from continuing along the narrow path. Trials are there to strengthen us, and if we take every thought captive and bring it into obedience to Christ (that Word spoken to us daily) then we will continue to learn His ways and be changed into His likeness. What God has in store for us is way above our desires in this world. God bless.

    Thank you for sharing. Following in God doesn't always come easy or simple. I find it work to stay in touch with Him. But work can be good for the soul.

    You are incredibly brave, and you are correct - let all glory go to Him, our loving Lord and Saviour.
    Stay safe
