As Far as the East is from the West...

Sin... Yeah, going to open this up in this way... I was talking to someone the other day about making a choice that can be a bad one and wonder if knowing you were going to make this choice, if you would be forgiven when you stand before God... Also part of the thought is what kind of a legacy or image of that person would there? You all are probably just scratching your head and wondering what is up with this post... I'm being evasive I know... Not wanting to mention any names or personal information...

How many times have your or someone you know made choices or did something that they knew was wrong, but in the end it was justified? But when a choice has been made that can be seen as totally wrong to others, would God find in the end that He loved you anyhow... Even though this sin was committed... I don't really have an answer for this... It is just something on my mind...

But my hope is that God really knows the heart of those who love Him and that they would be forgiven if they have been saved... I would think that God understands what choices we make and what is going on... I know sometimes it sounds like a cop out for bad human emotions or behaviors... I always thought that the worst sin would be Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit... Atleast that is what I am thinking... I was working on some things tonight that got me thinking on this subject... I think I have overly been thinking on this subject lately...

I am wondering if I just need to reason and sort this out... This topic has been coming up alot... I know God knows what I am talking about and feeling on this topic... Every night when I go to bed, I ask for a resolution or answers when it comes to this subject...

Has others had to struggle with one thing or thought and tried to reason it out... I don't really want to go into details, since it will frustrate me more... I hope that God knows the struggles and the decisions that need to be made... I hope He knows that even when certain choices are made, they aren't made against Him... I hope that He is able to say that you are forgiven as far as the East is from the West and put it out of His mind... Boy wouldn't that be a good thing to have... When we have done wrong or have wronged, that people will put it out of their mind... I have a hard time with this one myself...

I am thinking I need a good safe sounding board, one that I won't feel like I'm jumping off the deep end... I am thinking that I need peace, resolution and permission... Now what that means, I have no clue really... It is what it is... I am also thinking I need to stop using the word Thinking... I use it too much and always seems to get me in trouble... Maybe that is the problem...  I am T------- too much...
