Hey everybody. During Mr. Kitrell's last message on Wed. night, God really spoke to my heart about being a true Soldier for Him. I realized that I have been the type of person that's just "going through the motions." I've acted like I'm having a close relationship with God and like I'm staying faithful in my devotions. I'm writing this to apologize to everyone how... how fake I've been acting. Truthfully, I've been REALLY struggling with my dev. life, and I don't have that close of a relationship with God, but I want to have that relationship in the worst way!I feel like Satan's just telling me like, "Just give up Zach, you haven't been the Christian you should be. Just forget about it." I feel so far away from God right now,and I hate it! I just wanted to apologize to you guys, and if you could just pray that I will be a true Soldier for Christ! You guys are the best EVER!!!!! I'm praying for you guys!
Saved by the precious blood of Christ,
Zach

Zach,
Thanks for being so honest. The messages were extremely challenging to me too. I think there are times in all of our lives where we start to just go through the motions. The important thing is to realize when we're getting into that rut and to ask God for His continual presence in our lives. Isn't it such a comfort though to know that God hasn't given up on us and that He is never leaving? He knows our failures but loves us anyways...and He continues to mold and change us as He sees fit.
Jeremiah 18:3-6 "Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel."
I'll try to be praying for you, if you'll be praying for me. ;)

Thanks for your post... I'm glad to see that God is still working in your heart. Always remember to be honest to others, God, and yourself. It's not always easy, but remember that God is always drawing you to himself, and you just need to be willing to sit back and let him do it all.
I'll Pray for you!
Rachel
