I hope it does help posting in a setting that is private and somewhat non-judgemental. Anyhow, I was sitting down, probably feeling sorry for myself today. I just started to wonder and it isn't really anything I believe anyone can answer. Just wasn't sure if anyone else felt this way. I go to church, I'm not very active socially, I keep my distance for the most part. I'd love it if I was the only one there at times just hearing a magical message. However, that isn't life. I almost started crying thinking of some of the crazy things I do in this life, some that are wrong, not being able to control myself, wondering if this is all just an excuse and wondering how I will be judged. May be a deep question, may not, but sometimes I just feel so wrong. There are times when my thoughts are just so bad. Things I think up, I can't imagine where it would have ever come from. So, not Christ like. It puts a whole new meaning on mercy and grace.

And that is totally different than the brain. I think that God knows our desire to "do better" and that is what He loves about us.

Wishing won't make me better tho...it's hard work. I don't fear so much what GOD thinks on me, because I know that I am deep down a good person. It's the judgements of other humans that hurts me. My family especially.

People are broken. We've always been broken. We weren't created broken but a choice was made for us. that we experience pain is now ineveitable, but Christ said that you don't send a medic for people who aren't sick, and so he didn't come for people who don't need him. Christ came for us Christ came to save us from hell (maybe not always in this life, as we may know too well). We are not damned for being who we are. if anything we`re loved all the more, because we need it. Grace increases where there is pain, where there is sin and brokeness. .faithopeace.

It goes on to say something like G-d uses the weak and the foolish to accomplish what the worldly wise and strong cannot. So maybe you can try that next time you start judging yourself.

She spoke on getting rid of the barriers and stigmas that the community comes with, and breaking free of the pain and imprisonment of thinking that because we need a little extra help to get by that we are "broken" or "weak". So many people within the church are struggling with mental health disorders and hurting and suffered for a lot of their lives, and she stressed how important it was to know we are not alone. It was hard because I felt like my close friends who know about my BPD were all thinking about it, all focusing on me being the "sick" one, and yet it was comforting to know that you can be a Christian and are still loved by God. God didn't make us this way, it's a reality of the world we live in. While our thoughts and actions can be very un-Christ like, believe me I hurt people I love deeply over and over, that's what grace is about. Jesus died on the cross--the only human being who understands true pain and complete suffering--so that we may have grace. God loves you too deeply to ever judge you for the struggles against our minds. While he judges us on our hearts, he does want us to have the mind of Christ...and for that reason Jesus can be your biggest supporter to get better. The odds are against us, people think this can never get better and can never go away. And God tells you differently. It's confusing and frustrating, and on the worst days none of this is any help (I know, as this past week was one of the worst I've ever experienced) yet at some points it will may be enough to keep you holding on. I collect quotes like mad, and the one in my signature as well as this one from Mere Christianity have brought comfort many times: "But the great thing to remember, is that, though our feelings come and go, His love for us does not" "when you feel abandoned by God yet continue to trust him in spite of your feelings, you worship him in the deepest way" -C.S. Lewis

There is only one person who ever lived who was free from sin, and that was Jesus. If you desire to do better, to try and walk (run) away from sin, and do all that YOU can do to avoid it, then God will know. God judges the heart, obviously thats not a free rein to sin all we like and just say our heart was in the right place, because God will know the truth, but on the other hand he won't condemn you to hell because of what you have done, if you have asked for forgiveness
