learning
Hi there, I've learned a lot in the last few weeks, it has been so exciting and freeing. I have been at some Christian conferences where I learned loads and also I have been spending time with brilliant people, and have been learning a lot through that too. I don't think I'll try to go through everything right now, but the main things I learned and things that I find really exciting are - I am already forgiven by God because Jesus has already died on the cross for me, like it happened in the past for all time so actually nothing can get in the way between me and God. That has really big implications for my life, it means I don't have to worry about pleasing God. Also confessing to God is not like pleading for forgiveness, its more like acknowledging that something you are doing or have been doing is not what you want and is not what God wants wither, and by saying that to him you are recognising that and can then move into new life with him, which is way better than life without Him. I don't know if this will make sense to anyone who is not already inside my head, but if it does make sense then cool! And if its not clear then ask.Another great realisation is that the freedom that God wants us to have is totally on his heart too, its not as if we are striving for freedom against his will, when you work together with God then you definitely will overcome stuff that gets in your way from freedom. Ok so freedom means - not having to have rubbish thoughts in your head all the time - about yourself or about other people. How cool is that!! Yeah.
I think talking to other people about it is really helpful too, like telling them the crap thoughts you are having - that makes the fact that you don't want to be having the thougts even more real.
Yeah so give it a go, yeah!
