There’s a lot of things in my life I’ve gotten completely wrong, I’m a sinner, and I lived in Guilt that told me “I made mistakes”, and Shame that told me “I am a mistake” for a long time…

I’ve learned that very shame we live in, is the enemies way of separating us from God; & he strives to keep us there as long as possible, continually playing our worst mistakes over and over hoping to permanently separate us from Jesus’ love & the transformation He has for us…

Those negative comments you get, & the ones that try to tear you down while you’re being refined; I’ve learned they too are the enemies way to attempt to further separate you from Jesus, and keep you from making progress hoping you will care more for the things and opinions of this world than you do for what is not of this world, Jesus, and what He has for you…

But I’ve come to learn so much, because Jesus found me in my mess, and has guided me on my path while surrounding me with Men that have helped me remain on it.

I once pointed the finger at others for my own mistakes, today I take accountability for my wrongdoings and pray continuously for God’s guidance on how to right the wrongs I’m able to… My heart becomes more convicted each day as I run from recommitting the sins of my past, both distant and recent…

I feel Jesus refining me; the ego is dead, the judgements for others is non-existent, & praying for those who persecute you brings a whole new level of love and understanding to your heart…

If you’re a man who is lost, unfulfilled or living the fast life, while feeling completely empty, no matter how much you have in your bank account, how many women you sleep with, or how much you do that the world calls “living,” seek Jesus out, allow Him to meet you where you are and start walking with Him… I promise you it will change you, your surroundings, your heart & your character in ways you can’t imagine…

God bless you brother, keep moving forward… #christian #refining #charachter #godcan #jesussaves
