@BoCamaro I have brought shame upon myself, I deserve it after what I've done. I don't know how to lay it at His feet. Please pray for me. My heart & spirit are broken. 😔 😟

Wanna hear some hard truth that will make somepeople VERY MAD that I speak it?????
Jesus didn't say, "Stop drinking and come to me."
He didn't say, "put down the needle and come to me"
He didn't say, "Stop being gay and come to me."
He didn't say, "Stop sleeping around and come to me"
He didn't say, "Stop hurting yourself and come to me"
He didn't say, "Stop hating yourself and come to me."
What did he say then?
In Matthew Chapter 11 he made it clear as day...
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Notice his FIRST WORDS were "COME TO ME".... these rest of it happens after that.
If you are trying to fight your battles to become perfect before coming to Christ, you will never get there. And he knew that.
He is telling you to bring it all to him. All of it. Lay it at his feet and he will help you. He will help you put that needle down. He will help you pour that bottle out. He will help you learn to love yourself and heal that emptiness that you need to fill with whatever vice it may be. He will help you deal with terrible sin from you past. He will help you learn to love yourself.
Modern religion has twisted his words to make it feel as though you have to be perfectly clean to enter his house, and maybe you do to entire THEIR house...
But Jesus spoke those words for you to hear. Plain as day.
Do not fear bringing it to him. He is waiting for you to give but a single ounce of faith. He will take the rest.
I drove a few miles and walked into church without even a dollar store Bible in my dirty hands, and he grabbed ahold of me and took it ALL away. He hasn't let go since. I wake up thinking about him and what has happened. I go to bed thinking about him and what has happened. I took one step, and he took the WORLD off of me. I gave an inch, and he gave me his KINGDOM.
Take that step, if you feel you need it. A better life is on the other foot.

@JustJenRX The Bible says it very clearly: In the last days, deception will ramp up—through false teachers, false signs, and a general turning away from truth.

Today has been a rough day I was at TJ Maxx today and heard a loud crash and something shattering. Being nosy, I walked towards the sound and saw some people whispering and looking back to the end of the next aisle. When I walked down that aisle, I saw that an older lady had hit a shelf and many things had fallen to the ground and broken. She was kneeling on the floor embarrassed, frantically trying to clean up. I felt so bad for her. Every one was just standing there staring at her. So I went and knelt beside her and told her not to worry and started helping her pick up the broken pieces. After about a minute, the store manager came and knelt beside us and said, “Leave it, we will clean this up.” The lady, totally embarrassed said, “I need to pay for all this.” The manager smiled, helped her to her feet and said, “No ma’am, we have insurance for this, you do not have to pay anything!” If you have read this far, give me another minute.
Wherever you are, close your eyes, and imagine God doing the same for you! Imagine the broken pieces of your mistakes or the pieces of your broken heart from all the blows life has thrown at you all over the floor and you’re there trying to collect all of the pieces and fix them yourself. Now imagine God comes and kneels right down beside you, smiles and says to you, “Leave it all there, I will clean this up for you.”
He loves you that much and wants to put all of those pieces back together if you will let Him! With Him we have this insurance and it’s called GRACE! It’s free! All you have to do is ask Him to forgive you, help you, and to heal you. He’s faithful, I promise!

Drinking from God’s River of Delights – Psalm 36:8
Psalm 36 is one of those passages that takes a man from the sewer of human depravity to the shining heights of divine mercy in just a handful of verses. David starts out describing the wickedness of man, the flatteries of sin, the darkness of rebellion, and the crookedness of those who refuse to abhor evil. Then, all of a sudden, like a door opening into another world, he lifts your eyes from the corruption of man to the goodness of God. “Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds” (Psalm 36:5). Then he keeps climbing higher and deeper until he says this in verse 8: “They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.” That is not the language of a dry, mechanical religion. That is not the language of some dead formalism with a necktie and a routine and no heartbeat. That is the language of holy abundance. That is the language of divine satisfaction. That is the language of a God who does not merely rescue His people from destruction, but brings them into enjoyment of Himself.
There are multitudes of Christians who seem to think the Christian life is nothing more than surviving temptation, dodging judgment, gritting your teeth, and dragging your carcass across the finish line till you finally die and go to heaven. They act like God saved them merely to keep them out of hell and then left them to crawl through the wilderness on spiritual crumbs. But that is not what the Book says. The Book says there is fatness in His house. The Book says there is a river of delights. The Book says God gives His people something to drink that satisfies the inward man. The world offers puddles, polluted wells, and broken cisterns. The devil offers thrills with poison in them. The flesh offers appetites that only increase the thirst. But the God of Scripture offers a river. Not a trickle. Not a damp patch in the dust. A river. And not merely a river of survival, but a river of delights.
That word “delights” is what makes the thing blaze. We are not talking here about some sterile, joyless, cold religion where a man is saved but miserable, orthodox but lifeless, separated but bitter, doctrinally right but spiritually dry as sawdust. We are talking about the living God bringing His people into the enjoyment of His goodness. This is not carnal pleasure. It is not worldly amusement. It is not emotional foolishness. It is not religious entertainment. It is the deep, holy, soul-satisfying delight that comes from fellowship with God, confidence in His truth, rest in His mercy, and communion with His presence. The saints of God are not called merely to sip enough truth to stay alive. They are called to drink from God’s river. And if that river is available, then it is a sin and a tragedy for believers to spend their days licking dew off stones when the Almighty has opened a fountain.
1. The River of Delights Begins With the Character of God
David does not arrive at Psalm 36:8 by accident. The river of delights flows out of the character of the God he has just described. In verses 5 through 7 he speaks of God’s mercy, faithfulness, righteousness, judgments, and lovingkindness. That is the source of the river. The delights of God are not disconnected from who God is. His pleasures are not random sensations floating around in some mystical fog. They proceed from His holy nature. He is merciful, so the river is merciful. He is faithful, so the river is reliable. He is righteous, so the river is pure. He is loving, so the river is rich with kindness. In other words, when a saint drinks from God’s river, he is not merely receiving a blessing detached from the Blesser. He is tasting the goodness of the One who sits upon the throne.
That matters because the world’s whole system of pleasure is built on separation from God. The world says delight comes by
