What I Have Learned

I finally finished my bible study. I was going to finish it yesterday but i just wasn't in the mood so i relaxed and thought about things. I got up this morning and finished it and this is what i came to learn through it.

• God commands us not to lie ( Lev 19:11) -There is a reason that He commmands us not to lie, He wants the best for us and he knows what lying can do to relationships.
• However we are all Liars (Rom 3:4)- We have all lied and sin. it only takes one lie to become a liar and one sin to become a sinner
• We need to confess and repent. ( 1 John 1:9)
• Jesus also tells us to forgive our brother (Mat 18:21-35) - I am still wondering what forgiving looks like because i have seen it played out in many ways. Maybe i will do a study on that some day.
• Friends love at all time ( Proverbs 17:17)

With this i need to realize that i not only wronged a friend but i also wronged God. I need to confess and repent and change from my wrongdoing. It is not up to me to change the heart or thoughts of other people and i can't keep begging them to give me a second chance. What is done is done i did what i needed to do and know all i can do is wait and love and accept others where they are at. The biggest thing that has come out of this is that i have become so thankful that i am in the hands of God and not of humans because humans are harsh.

Here are some verses that really stuck out to me as i was studying, Some of them was hard for me to face but others i was again glad that God loeves me as much as he does.

• Proverb 18:24
• Proverbs 19:5
• Proverbs 19:22
• Proverbs 12:17
• Psalms 34:12-14
• Romans 1:25
• Col 3:9
• Proverbs 27:10
• Proverbs 27:6

God will always come through and God can mend things that seem beyond repair so I am giving this to God and trusting him to do as he wills
