Greetings in the Lord! This is Bob, one of TheNET Moderators. Welcome! We're glad you are here!

I am going to leave you a video that will address your statement that you feel that you do not matter much in God's great scheme of things.

I have included some links to help you navigate around the site. You may want to check out the Footprints group, the Links for Growth forum for great tips on how to grow in Christ, and Miracle Grow to help you get closer to God every day.

Once again, thanks for joining TheNET. I hope you make lots of good friends here and keep growing in the wisdom and knowledge of the Lord.

Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions. I look forward to getting to know you.

In the love of Jesus.
Bob

David, you certainly are not alone in your striving to fight off temptation and follow the will of God in your life. I used to believe that there was something seriously wrong with me as I seemed to be way off in my faith walk. I was, but I found that I am not alone in these struggles. It has taken me a long time to learn to forgive myself for past sin. I have learned that through daily Bible reading and prayer I have been able to draw closer to God and find the help I needed. I have learned to understand what free grace is and accept that grace and love of my Lord Jesus. I will be praying for you in your own walk and desire to draw closer to your Savior. I have come to understand that the more we feel that we are not worthy the closer to God we really are, otherwise we would not be having these feelings, there would be no caring at all. The fact that we do care, we do feel guilty, the more we realize our unworthiness, the closer we are to salvation. It is just taking that step of saying yes to God and letting Him have control. I am lifting you up to God.
