I don't believe you. I think you do care, otherwise, you wouldn't have posted. I think it does bother you that you seem to be fading away. Fight that nasty liar, the Devil! It's only misery and depression going down that route (trust me...). Don't let him win. Come back to the joy, satisfaction, peace, and security in Christ. Praying for you, curritodelacruz.

I know just how you feel. Life is fraught with failures and disappointments that bring us down. You are humble enough to admit the truth about your situation and you are not lying or deceiving yourself. You don’t care that you are backslidden because you are tired of trying and failing. I get that. If your life has been an abysmal failure, then you are closer to God than you know. God uses the weak and beggarly, not the mighty and noble. You can’t change you, that’s God’s work. The work of God is not the work of man. At least you know your backslidden. Some walk with pride and arrogance and don’t know they are backslidden.

Hi curr... It appears your humble post has nearly 50 readings. So, that means 2 things: 1. People care and are interested. 2. We all face this issue- DAILY. Moment by moment. ---------
Paul tells us that he did not know sin, but by the law. That is to say...the closer we are to the understanding of God and his will for us, the more the enemy will MESS WITH US. But also the MORE CHRIST WILL BUILD US UP IN HIM! =) --------- The fact of the matter is that we daily backslide to some degree. The hardest concept that God deals with us humans would have to be our INSIDE. Our HEARTS. Some may appear to be sincere and maybe infact are however... God wants each one us to deal with ALL our inconsistances. --------- You may have a noticable flaw right now, but you can admit it so the Lord will help you as you seek him before/while/after. REALLY.
We all are dead IN our sins...so we must come out of them in order to live in Christ.
Back to the original idea of striving for: sinless perfection... We first all need to admit that in order for this to be, we must examine ALL aspects of life, as able. God can help us overcome each of our willful wrongs as we grow in Christ. BUT.... Most who claim to BE THERE ALREADY.... Need to re examine and recall if they had a single ill will toward another in their heart. Some one cuts you off in traffic..... does your heart flutter FOR EVEN ONE SECOND of animousity?? Likely!! =( =) lol...like I said, we all need to live MOMENT by MOMENT in the Lord. Jesse's bold stand is awe-some. Ive got encouragement from ZAC POONEN audio sermons on google video or CFINDIA.COMmyself over the last few years. An amazing 70 year old India preacher whos obviously living the life we all desire for longer then most of us are.
God bless you. -VERITAS77 *^]-
