"I feel shes in middle of major spirtual war inside of her :("

You can count on it.

I've seen the same thing. Sometimes these wars for the soul go on for years.
I pray that she will come home quickly.

We Christians on this forum are so very truly blessed. We were firm in our faith before God allowed Satan to be loosed.
We hang onto each other for strength, and God does the rest.

At the risk of repeating something that has already been posted, this came from a dear friend:

"When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin."
I'm whispering "I was lost,"
Now I'm found and forgiven.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need CHRIST to be my guide.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
and need HIS strength to carry on.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
but, God believes I am worth it.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain,
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
who received God's good grace, somehow."

"Share this with somebody who already has this understanding, as reinforcement.
But more importantly, share this with those who do not have a clear
understanding of what it means to be a Christian, so that the myth that Christians
think they are "perfect" or "better than others" can be dispelled."


Thank you, TexasGirl
