Priest, you have received a number of excellent commentaries on how you might know you have been forgiven and while I agree with most, I took a few moments to recall those days when I had much the very same experience. I was approach-ing my 45th bir…

Dear Priest
As I was reading your comments something came to mind concerning an event in my past that may address your situation. If I'm wrong please feel free to ignore it.

R said… - A good reminder of God's Love.
Every Sunday afternoon, after the morning service at the church, the Pastor and his eleven year old son would go out into their town and hand out Gospel Tracts.
This particular Sunday afternoon, as it came time for the Pastor and his son to go to the streets with their tracts, it was very cold outside, as well as pouring down rain. The boy bundled up in his warmest and driest clothes and said, "OK, dad, I'm ready."
His Pastor dad asked, "Ready for what?"
"Dad, it's time we gather our tracts together and go out." Dad responds, "Son, it's very cold outside and it's pouring down rain."
The boy gives his dad a surprised look, asking, "But Dad, aren't people still going to Hell, even though it's raining?"
Dad answers, "Son, I am not going out in this weather." Despondently, the boy asks, "Dad, can I go? Please?"
His father hesitated for a moment then said, "Son, you can go. Here are the tracts, be careful son.."
"Thanks Dad!"
And with that, he was off and out into the rain. his eleven year old boy walked the streets of the town going door to door and handing everybody he met in the street a Gospel Tract.
After two hours of walking in the rain, he was soaking, bone-chilled wet and down to his VERY LAST TRACT. He stopped on a corner and looked for someone to hand a tract to, but the streets were totally deserted.
Then he turned toward the first home he saw and started up the sidewalk to the front door and rang the door bell. He rang the bell, but nobody answered. He rang it again and again, but still no one answered. He waited but still no answer.
Finally, this eleven year old trooper turned to leave, but something stopped him. Again, he turned to the door and rang the bell and knocked loudly on the door with his fist. He waited, something holding him there on the front porch! He rang again and this time the door slowly opened. Standing in the doorway was a very sad-looking elderly lady. She softly asked, "What can I do for you, son?" With radiant eyes and a smile that lit up her world, this little boy said, "Ma'am, I'm sorry if I disturbed you, but I just want to tell you that *JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU* and I came to give you my very last Gospel Tract which will tell you all about JESUS and His great LOVE."
With that, he handed her his last tract and turned to leave. She called to him as he departed. "Thank you, son! And God Bless You!"
Well, the following Sunday morning in church Pastor Dad was in the pulpit. As the service began, he asked, "Does anybody have any test imony or want to say anything?"
Slowly, in the back row of the church, an elderly lady stood to her feet. As she began to speak, a look of glorious radiance came from her face, "No one in this church knows me. I've never been here before. You see, before last Sunday I was not a Christian. My husband passed on some time ago, leaving me totally alone in this world. Last Sunday, being a particularly cold and rainy day, it was even more so in my heart that I came to the end of the line where I no longer had any hope or will to live.
So I took a rope and a chair and ascended the stairway into the attic of my home. I fastened the rope securely to a rafter in the roof, then stood on the chair and fastened the other end of the rope around my neck. Standing on that chair, so lonely and brokenhearted I was about to leap off, when suddenly the loud ringing of my doorbell downstairs startled me. I thought, "I'll wait a minute, and whoever it is will go away." I waited and waited, but the ringing doorbell seemed to get louder and more insistent, and then the person ringing also started knocking loudly. I thought to myself again, "Who on earth could this be? Nobody ever rings my bell or comes to see me." I loosened the rope from my neck and started for the front door, all the while the bell rang louder and louder.
When I opened the door and looked I could hardly believe my eyes, for there on my front porch was the most radiant and angelic little boy I had ever seen in my life. His SMILE, oh, I could never describe it to you! The words that came from his mouth caused my heart that had long been dead, TO LEAP TO LIFE as he exclaimed with a cherub-like voice, "Ma'am, I just came to tell you that JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU." Then he gave me this Gospel Tract that I now hold in my hand.
As the little angel disappeared back out into the cold and rain, I closed my door and read slowly every word of this Gospel Tract. Then I went up to my attic to get my rope and chair. I wouldn't be needing them any more.
You see---I am now a Happy Child of the KING. Since the address of your church was on the back of this Gospel Tract, I have come here to personally say THANK YOU to God's little angel who came just in the nick of time and by so doing, spared my soul from an eternity in hell."
There was not a dry eye in the church. And as shouts of praise and honor to THE KING resounded off the very rafters of the building, Pastor Dad descended from the pulpit to the front pew where the little angel was seated.
He took his son in his arms and sobbed uncontrollably. Probably no church has had a more glorious moment, and probably this universe has never seen a Papa that was more filled with love & honor for his son... Except for One.
Our Father also allowed His Son to go out into a cold and dark world. He received His Son back with joy unspeakable, and as all of heaven shouted praises and honor to The King, the Father sat His beloved Son on a throne far above all principality and power and every name that is named.
Blessed are your eyes for reading this message.
Don't let this message die, read it again and pass it to others. Heaven is for His people!
Remember, God's message CAN make the difference in the life of someone close to you.
Please share this wonderful message...

- HELLO MY DEAR FRIEND IN JESUS
I AM SO GLAD TO HAVE YOU AS A FRIEND AND I HOPE OUR FRIENDSHIP WILL GROW FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH JUST AS OUR FAITH IN GOD...
I WANT TO QUOTE YOU A LITTLE POEM 'SPECIALLY FOR YOU
FRIENDSHIP
IS THE GOLDEN THREAD THAT TIES
ALL HEARTS TOGETHER
A FRIEND IS SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THE SONG
IN YOUR HEART AND CAN SING IT BACK TO YOU
WHEN YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN THE WORDS.
A GOOD EXERCISE FOR THE HEART IS TO
BEND DOWN AND HELP ANOTHER UP
FRIENDS ARE LIKE FOUR LEAF CLOVERS,
HARD TO FIND, LUCKY TO HAVE.
IF ALL MY FRIENDS JUMPED OFF A CLIFF
I WOULDN'T JUMP WITH THEM.
I WOULD BE AT THE BOTTOM TO CATCH THEM!
THANKS FOR BEING MY FRIEND! YOU'RE GREAT!
THERE IS NOTHING BETTER THAN A FRIEND...
UNLESS IT IS CHOCOLATE...
AND NOW I WANT TO SHARE SOMETHING PRECIOUS WITH YOU...
He Rescues the Birds
Author: Charles W. Moores
Once, while riding through the country with some other lawyers, Abraham Lincoln was missed from the party, and was seen loitering near a thicket of wild plum trees where the men had stopped a short time before to water their horses.
"Where is Lincoln?" asked one of the lawyers.
"When I saw him last," answered another, "he had caught two young birds that the wind had blown out of their nest, and was hunting for the nest to put them back again."
As Lincoln joined them, the lawyers rallied him on his tender-heartedness, and he said:
"I could not have slept unless I had restored those little birds to their mother."
DEAREST FRIEND, I KNOW YOU ARE SENSITIVE AND THIS IS A BLESSING... BUT SOMETIMES DIFFICULT. I AM ALSO SENSITIVE AND WHEN I HURT... I HURT BADLY. BUT LET US HAVE AN ATTITUDE : IF LIFE HANDS YOU LEMONS - MAKE LEMONADE!
BLESSINGS AND LOVE IN OUR DEAR LORD JESUS
THE ONLY SAVIOUR OF OUR LIVES!
I HAVE PRAYED THAT THE LORD WILL EMBRACE YOU, BREATHE UPON YOU AND KEEP YOU SAFE TODAY, AND EVERY DAY!
GOD BLESS

- Never LOSE HOPE !
That's the only promise I can attest to you. God never failed me. Why in the world should he fail you?
These are trials, and trials are made to be conquered.
You have the same trials as every one else, only a different instance or situation, but trials still to make you stronger.
Don't lose hope my friend. God is with you. We as your friend can help you with God's help.

Eren said… - Hey there -
I know how you feel - it is a big spiritual battle and the devil wants to stop you from fulfilling God's purpose for your life.
I have found that the attacks are stronger on the people that God will use mightily.
You need to find someone that loves God with all of their hearts to help you get to the root of this problem. When you start talking the Holy spirit will talk through you and enlighten you showing you what the root is.
A lie probably wandered into your mind without you noticing it. So you need to find that lie- yank it out of your head (through God's Word) and then stand in faith daily meditating on Scripture so Satan won't get a stronghold again.
Then you have to ask God to show you His will for your life- His purpose for you. When you find out and He confirms this to you- hold on to His calling in faith. This will take you through the rough times.
Seek out the truth- yearn for His presence- He is faithful and will get you out of this--- I have been there before. I know what you are feeling. And God got me out of it.
If He got me out of hole- he'll get you out of it too.
Blessings,
Eren

Once again, thanks for joining TheNET. I hope you make lots of good friends here and keep growing in the wisdom and knowledge of the Lord.
Dear Lord, I thank You for this day, I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this morning. I'm blessed because You are a forgiving God and an understanding God. You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me. Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought that was not pleasing to you.
I ask now for Your forgiveness. Please keep me safe from all danger and harm. Help me to start this
day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best of each and every day to clear my
mind so that I can hear from You. Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things.
Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over. And give the best response when I'm pushed beyond my limits.
I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my heart. Continue to use me to do Your will. Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others. Keep me strong that I may help the weak. Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others. I pray for those that are lost and can't find their way.
I pray for those that are misjudged and misunderstood.
I thank you that I believe that God changes people and God changes things. I pray for all my sisters and brothers, for each and every family member in their households. I pray for peace , love and joy in their homes, that they are out of debt and all their needs are met. I pray that every eye that reads this knows
there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than God. Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight.
I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye that sees it.
