Day 9
Posted: Sun Jan 06, 2008 6:07 pmI liked several things about this step. I liked the verse Luke 7:47 "Her sins which are many are forgiven, because she shows much love; but to whom little is forgiven, they show little love."
When I read that I thought right off of when I first came on this site. I right away went to Real Solutions and posted my former problem with alcohol. When I got the response I did from Realtmg, I right away read his testimony. Then I knew this is where I belonged. If Realtmg had not ever gone through what he had, I would never have come back to this site.
Thank you Realtmg and Thank you Jesus!
Another thing I liked was the statement "healing is a progressive miracle, not something thats going to happen all at once."
I think I first started to get healed back when I gave up all music except Christian music. I battle depression and I found all other music makes me depressed. I listen to the words. (my husband never does!) I don't feel every Christian needs to give up all music but Christian. But for me it was the best choice. When I heard "Set Me Free" by Casting Crowns I knew God was speaking to my heart. God has always used music to speak to me. Maybe because I had a musical family. My Dad played guitar and my Mom was the church organist and choir director.
One other thing I wanted to add which is going back to my posting of Day 8; God giving me the verse Isaiah 45:2 "I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder sthe bars of iron." After I posted my long post of Day 8 God again spoke to me about something I had forgotten to add. This was that He goes Before us; He knows the way that we take (Jeremiah 31:34B) and He goes before us to fix the messes we make. When we ask His forgiveness; He has already gone before us and fixed everything. Thinking of this sure has helped me in my problems with fear. God doesn't only have a plan; He has already gone before us to do it!
All we have to do is Trust Him, have faith. I am so happy right now I could yell hallelujah! So believe it or not I am yelling Hallelujah!!
