Since I don't know you, let me offer sever...Hi!<br />Since I don't know you, let me offer several suggestions:<br /><br />1. If you have never committed your life to the Lord, that is the most important first step.<br /><br />You can do that all alone by simply confessing your sins, admitting that you are a sinner, and asking Jesus to be your Lord and Savior.<br /><br />After you've done that, I recommend that you find a Bible-believing church where you can share your decision with others and start growing in the Lord.<br />Sometimes people think they're Christians because they've attended church all their lives, but it's not about attending church or being good. It's about genuinely believing what the Bible teaches about God and committing to follow Christ. <br /><br />2. If you've already made a genuine commitment to the Lord, then I assume you are asking this question because you've not been living a godly lifestyle. Perhaps (since you're leaving your comment on this post about King David) you've been sexually involved with someone.<br /><br />Whatever your sins are, you need to genuinely repent of them and re-commit your life to the Lord. Repentance is more than just confession. It means that you will do your best to turn away from your past sins. Sometimes a person who is strongly determined can do this on their own, but I recommend that you find an older Christian woman who can pray with you and keep you accountable. If certain situations cause you to sin, I recommend that you avoid those situations. If you are dating someone who expects you to have sex with him, you should quit seeing him.<br /><br />3. Start reading the Bible everyday. Hebrews 4:12-13 tells us that God's Word is alive....it changes our hearts and our minds. You need God's Word to move forward in your faith and fulfill the purposes God has for you. Did you know that God has special purposes for you? Ephesians 2:10 says He created you for some specific things...He knows you and loves you and wants you to follow His purposes for your life!!<br /><br />4. Other important factors in a healthy relationship with the Lord:<br />Good Christian friends who encourage you to live right.<br />A good Bible-believing church.<br />Bible study or fellowship groups where you can talk about the Lord and share prayer requests.<br /><br />I hope these things will be helpful to you. And I've prayed for you as well.<br /><br />Gail @ http://biblelovenotes.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17462629145629813283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538057051911243767.post-32365054553421030712020-10-07T16:41:28.126-04:002020-10-07T16:41:28.126-04:00Hi im a 15 year old girl and want to fix my relati...Hi im a 15 year old girl and want to fix my relationship with God .<br />May you give me some tips pleaseAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02374758542899409885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538057051911243767.post-60756839032083648812020-09-30T06:27:57.047-04:002020-09-30T06:27:57.047-04:00Thanks a bunch for the notes.

Repenting comes a little easier now that I've been doing it for many years; but, sometimes we're blind to what we're doing. That's when the dear Holy Spirit shakes us up a bit.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Laura<br /><a href="http://harvestlanecottage.com" rel="nofollow">Harvest Lane Cottage</a>Mrs. Laura Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17334381585683324912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538057051911243767.post-406011450756005792013-06-22T08:41:51.896-04:002013-06-22T08:41:51.896-04:00Gail I so loved this post....thanks so much for sh...Gail I so loved this post....thanks so much for sharing it with us!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538057051911243767.post-71768354578490001762013-06-21T21:19:46.522-04:002013-06-21T21:19:46.522-04:00thanks, Ren...your insights are good ones...our au...thanks, Ren...your insights are good ones...our audience of One...yes!Gail @ http://biblelovenotes.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17462629145629813283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538057051911243767.post-62393363373954094592013-06-21T21:18:37.162-04:002013-06-21T21:18:37.162-04:00You know you can link up, Roxy.

It's a beautiful testimony and a wonderful encouragement to me, however when I fail so miserably. It reminds me that there's always a way back to God, and no one can ever be too far gone.
