First off I'm a blood bought born again believer, basicly a christian. I love God and believe in him and Jesus. I know I'm going to heaven and that Jesus died for me.
That being said. . .
I have a relationship with God, but I know that it's not a really good one. Well like I know it could be way better than it is now. Sometimes i just don't know what to do. I have a lot of friends who are not christian and I feel like they sometimes drag me down. But I love them to death and have been though a lot with them. But I know that some of the things that they do and that what I end up doing is wrong. As I'm writing this i feel like I'm about to cry thinking back on all the things I have done.
In our terms, I haven't done anything to bad. I'm a 'goodie two-shoes.' But in Gods terms I have done so many bad things.
I know that when I pray and ask for forgivness I get it but sometimes I think I misuse that fact, therefore God's trust.
To me I feel like it is hard to grow any good christian values in the world we live in today. I'm the type of person who see's the wrong people a doing but don't outright tell them. The way I see it is no matter what I say they will probablly end up continuing to do it any way, I don't agree with it but I'm not opposing it.
What should I do about that? Should I keep looking the other direction, I sapose that one way to put it, or confront then if I get blown off end the frienship?
I need help on building my faith. And sadly I don't really have anybody in real life I can confide in about this. Yes there is God, but it's my relationship with him I need help with.
Now i feel like I answered my own question. [/sigh]
Moving on I guess. . .
I also need to start developing good habits, I guess you could call them. Such as studing the Bible and praying. I know, I'm 17 I should already have those habits.
But Truthfullly I didn't really grow up in a christian home. My family only started going to church six years ago. So I've only been a christian for six years. And at first I don't think it was a real relationship with God. Sometimes I don't feel like right now I have on with him. And it saddens me to even think that. There are things I know I need to do and things I actually do.
[/sigh]
So. . .Sorry for the rambling.
Over all I need help with:
Should I keep looking the other direction, i sapose that one way to put it, or confront then if I get blown off end the frienship?
And
How can I make a stronger relationship with God and keep it strong?
And yet again I feel like I already know the answer. It's not a good feeling when you ask a question you end up realising the answer to before you even finish the question.
I would still like help though. . .
Ooo~
I would also like to know if anyone else knows what I'm talking about.
Like they have been though this before.
