do you ever feel unworthy??
i was saved when i was in my second semester of eighth grade. at that time i began reading the bible, praying daily, and i even went to church a few times. but back then, i think my christianity was more of an obligation. ofcourse i loved Jesus, but I did all of those things because i felt obligated. and as time went by it got worse. I felt that the bible was the most boring book ever created and i ran through my prayers so fast because i was more worried about sleeping than praising God. i felt obligated to pray. i felt obligated to read the Word. I did all of those things because i felt that i had to. then this past year it all changed. I started going to church regularly, and i got to the point where i loved talking to God and reading His Word. I love it! i've changed so much about myself and it's all because of Him helping me through everything. i have found a STRONG love for God. an unconditional love for God. and then i think, "how can He love me?" im sure this is every Christians question. i dont get how He can though. I feel like i dont measure up. like i cant be one of His children. like i shouldnt be. im not the greatest peron and by no means am i perfect. i sin...a lot. but whenever i willfully sin i feel so discouraged and i feel like instead of running to God for help i have to hide my hurt and shame from him. i feel like even though it says in the bible that God will never allow me to be tempted more than I can handle, its never going to end. im never going to escape the temptation of the world that causes me to sin. its hard to control ones thoughts, and actions. atleast for me it is. so yes, i love God so much and im never going to stop loving him, but its hard to see Him loving me. not because He is a bad god who is incapable of love, but because I don't see how anyone could.

amazing thoughts ben. It is really hard sometimes to understand why or how God could love us. He just does, because He is Good. He knows that we will sin, He knows that we will fall. but He catches us every time. keep on Loving Him ben...He will give you the strength to break those chains!
