The Secret of Surrender

Just remember that God forgives you and loves you.

You know who you are. You are the one who struggles with living a life like Christ. You are the one who struggles with your relationship with God. Take a breath. It is okay to live an imperfect life. God kind of expects that to happen, which makes him so forgiving of us.

We sin, we have since Adam and Eve. So really there is no escaping it, especially with how our world functions today. Asking for forgiveness and receiving forgiveness is a key aspect of having a relationship with God. He is loving and caring, he will forgive you. Just because you sin does not mean you are automatically damned to hell for all of eternity. I promise.

It’s okay to not understand words or verses in the bible, it’s okay if you don’t even read it every day. You do not always have to open your bible and do a daily devotion to feel like you are talking with God and building a better relationship. If you wish to understand the bible more you can try to look up what you’re confused about or try and find a bible that has it in terms you can understand.

Life can get in the way. With work, kids, school, friends, family, and so on. You may not be free to go to church or even have the desire to attend church every Sunday and the world will not explode because of it. You don’t need to speak to God through a leader of the church. You can talk to him whenever you want; just pray.
