Sin... It's a Terrible Thing

I have suddenly realised that I've put off my relationship with God long enough now.

How much longer can I repeat the same sins, over and over again?

I was getting to a point where I felt guilty everytime I asked for forgiveness, because I knew it wouldn't be long before I was asking for it again.

But today - I've changed. I've decided that the time is NOW to start fresh, to begin my walk with God. There have been a few changes in my life recently, and I now know it is because God wants me to get back to basics.

I have been wondering lately about how deep my beliefs went - did I just believe in God because I was scared of life after death? Did I truly believe in Him?

I think, until today, the answer to the latter question was NO. I was always too unsure, it was always just hope. Never a strong belief in everything I have learnt.

Today I watched an episode of "7th Heaven" where Eric goes to Heaven. It really got to me - the amount of positive messages I gleaned from the episode was amazing.

I can now say I am a true believer - it is definitely hard in my society to actually say this, AND believe it. Just yesterday I was reading an article about the Victorian State Government promoting the teaching of atheism in public schools, where volunteers will provide their students with many reasons as to why God doesn't exist.

Australia has become an extremely secular country, where parents are pulling their children out of school because they built Noah's Ark, just as a fun activity. It's becoming more and more apparent that faith no longer belongs, or at least, people are making it seem that way.

And I think that's why it's been so easy fo me to fall into the trap of "thinking logically".

I've realised I DO think logically, and I think it's quite logical that God exists and that the Bible is true.

That is why I have come back to this online community - I think it's really important to surround myself with like-minded people, people who do not want to sin, who believe in an Almighty Creator.

Like I said at the beginning of this Blog, I have put off my relationship with God for TOO LONG now. But today I am 100% ready to let God into my life, to let him guide my decisions, help me make the right choices.

And I thank you Lord for that.
