I haven't been checking my blog for a while now and I just noticed a comment from last week on one of my blog entries (Dealing with a Broken Heart: Day 7). I can't help but post an entry about it for it's the first time, ever since I have decided to surrender my life to God, that I encountered a person who tried to condemn me by throwing my past on me.

Why write something about who hurt you and not who you have hurt in the past? You're not exactly a saint, you know. And all those blogs about love and stuff? Have you told anyone about your lies? I would bet that you can't tell anyone close to you what you did last 6 summers ago. I dare you.
My reply:
The person I was before is someone I'm not exactly proud of. I may have had my own share of hurting people myself and done things I shouldn't have. But without these same things and experiences, I wouldn't have found my Salvation and grace. I am now Saved. I am saved from my wrong ways and old life.
Not everyone is perfect and even Christians fall into temptations as well. But God is a forgiving god and He has forgiven me from all the sins I have committed before because I am TRULY sorry for them. I can't also say that I am now living a sin-free life but with His blessings and Word, I am more wise with my decisions.
I have been warned about bashes or comments like these as well for they will try to condemn me. It is written that not everyone will appreciate me for there will always be people who will try to shake my faith and bring me down. But I want to thank you because you have just convicted me to become a better Christian :)
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
God bless you! :)
-- I know more comments like these will come but I can't help but rejoice with the new heart God has truly blessed me with :)
But on a lighter note, I have no idea what you're talking about. Six summers ago? I'm just around what, 12 years old? :(

it is nice to know that you have been saved. great to hear that. but did you even consider the idea that you may have hurt that person who tried to condemn you on your post? has that person forgiven you? or maybe that person may have been waiting to hear from you.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your perspective :) I didn't think of think of that considering s/he commented in third person. But if that's the case and if THAT person is reading this comment now then I just want to say that... I am truly sorry for what I may have done to you in the past. I didn't know any better and honestly, I used to be a really selfish person. I pushed away everyone who cared for me, took them for granted and whatnot. But I guess the reason for all of that is because I wasn't overflowing with God's love yet then. I was longing for love I didn't have so I would suck out and ruin people who tried to show compassion to me. And I really am truly sorry :(
ReplyDeleteRight now, I just want to seek for your forgiveness and if possible, can you privately message me? I am totally clueless who you could be. 6 summers back? That's even before highschool! But then again, whoever you are, whatever I did, I'm truly very sorry.
ReplyDeletehello there. have you made progress? how many unfortunate (poor) souls have converted (saved) for the Lord?
