All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others
Perfection??
Have you every felt you or others expect perfection from you, when it is impossible for us all. What is important is to be yourself, yet with thoughts of perfection again impossible. How then is the best way to just be yourself? Just a child of God working out their Faith. Why, do we try to hide our flaws, when if others knew it may help. Not like leading others astray, just working out our flaws through Grace.

Oh man, I'm going to write a book on this but I have to go to the doctor. I need to vent so I will definitely return to this later.

I guess I will have to be left out of that book. I realize now how far away I am from my goal. My only trust is in Jesus and in Him crucified. On my own, I am doomed. It is a glorious life. Now, we really have a challenge.

Its really humanly impossible to not go back to our old forgiven and God forgotten sins. But with our God, all things are possible. For as long as we stay connected to Him, His love will keep us far from remembering our sins. I think when we falter or sin our guilt triggers memories of old sins. May the Lord strengthen us all in the faith.

The enemy would want us to look back. it sees it victories in our mistakes. As you say, God has Forgiven us, and He does not hold onto such things. Our Victory is in Jesus. I shared this verse in another discussion. I believe it applies here as well. We must focus on Jesus, the source and goal of our faith. He saw the Joy ahead of Him, so He endured death on the cross and ignored the disgrace it brought Him. Then He received the highest position in heaven, the one next to the throne of God. Heb 12:2 He ignored the disgrace {our sins and how He was treated} I believe we are able to do the same thing. He looked to the Joy part of the Joy is you Lina. He focused on you and me, and all the others that will spend Eternity with Him. Since He is the Source and Goal of our Faith, your Prayer to be strengthen in Faith is found in Him. Let it be that we focus on Jesus, focus on the Joy ahead of us. Our Perfection is discovered in Our Lord. I have seen your heart as you have Prayed, it wants Jesus to be Glorified. As those who you Pray for enjoy the Victory, yours and others Faith have brought about the Very Will of God. Since Jesus is the Source of our Faith, All Glory and Praise go to Him. We are changed by our Relationship with Jesus. We are Not the same people we were. Those memories are about someone else, Not us. We have been changed and continue to change. Who He Is shine through us, for others to see and be drawn to us, so we can share the Joy in The Lord with them.
