Thoughts..New Walk

As I have mentioned Jesus talks to me in such a unique manner. When I do hear him, he is bold. Often, he speaks to me through complete strangers. Last night was a hard lesson learned.
Learnt alot....

I am new in this walk and although I may feel like a lion sometimes, that may be my weakest points. Because then my focus is turned on myself and not on Jesus. Pride, power... weakness.
My faith is fragile. I cannot always stand tall, I alone cannot overcome.

I must guard my heart and at the same time, am accountable for the soul of others.

My understanding of sin was also warped.. Funny, you read, but do not always retain. I understood that my past transgressions were forgiven. Did not understand that those to come were also.
Unfortunately, walking with Christ does not mean that we are free from sin. Our flesh is never free from sin. Even when you love Jesus with all of your heart, you are still not free from sin.

I am forgiven but that does not mean I should go out and sin again. I am free, but that does not mean that sin no longer has a price.

He is always there..
Even when I tried to turn my back, close my eyes and not hear. He was there. He yanked me back. He yelled, sreamed so I could hear. And I heard.

And then softly, lovingly, through a complete stranger as I got back on the right path.. .. he whispered..... "That was not wise".
