When we fail in our sprituality we see it as a loss.
Where have we failed in our walk with Christ? Also when you fall off the path, how do we get back on it??? What have you done to make it a WIN for you?

We all fall off the path, that's easy to do. Getting back on is sometimes rough.
If I choose to diliberatley disobey God then that is a huge loss. It separates me from the spirit. I feel the disconnection almost immediately.
I have to not only read the Word but study it. Pray every day. Make solid choices. Right- Wrong. There is no in between, ride the fence choice.
When I do make wrong choices I have to pay the consequenses. Hurt, pain, fear, panic... But I can be redeemed when I confess openly and honestly and not hide from God.
A loss in my spirituality is a total devestation. I am so running away and when he is near i just slide him away gently but know it is so wrong. It is like running out of air. Being sufficated by your own breath. I feel so lost and confused and continue to hope in him to drag me out of my filth. My GOD what can I do? The answer is so simple. I can't do anything, no matter what sin even if it could be a white lie to genecide. I have no power to change who what or even when. It has to take its course, I am just hoping that it leads me into HIS arms and GRACE!
ACTS 10:34
My new favorite verse. Actually it is my first favorite. I have never been so drawn to a single piece of scripture until I read this one lastnight.
My brothers and sisters I already feel the coolness inside of me. It has been a long time since I have felt this and just want you guys and gals to take 1 minute out of your day, thank GOD praise him and please pray for me. I have not asked this in a long time but I really need your prayers.
Sincerely

What a great surprise to see that you posted on our blog. You are right that it is a total devastation when we lose. So many times when lose in our spirituality we have guilt. The problem is we sometimes do not know how to find the path we need to be on. The path is always a step away. We just need to have the faith to trust Him and ask for forgiveness.
for the girlintheroom...you are right in it is a big loss. We do become disconnected and we do have to pay the consequences. But the good news is that He died for us so all we do is ask and we WILL be forgiven.
I fall off the path often. When ever I disrespect my wife, not read or pray as often as I should. But most recently is when as today. I knew that my dad was trying to help me, but he was not doing it MY WAY. That made me mad at him. I did not voice it out loud to him out of respect. But our thoughts are just as bad as saying it. I am just glad that I get a second (third, fourth..etc)
chance to make it right.
a loss is thinking i'm on the right path, but when i see the green sign, you know, the one that says
"LOS ANGELES 150 miles"
WHEN I SEE THAT I'M GOING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION, after thinking i was going in THE RIGHT DIRECTION...to me this is THE LOSS.
I know what you mean by that savannah!
It's crazy when you are on this journey and we THINK you have it all mapped out and all of a sudden Bam you see that sign! The one that tells you oh dang! I'm so not supposed to be here!!!!!
how do you turn around when you realize you're going in the wrong direction?
what does this look like?
I cry out for help! To the only one who has ever been able to direct me correctly- GOD! Sometimes it's hard for me to do, I don't always like asking for help! Sometimes, there just isn't any other choice, ya know??
What does it look like? Well that depends! If I am having a panic attack it looks like black spots and swirls! Most of the time its just a very strong negative feeling, like I am going to be sick at any moment... like I know I am going in the wrong direction, I know I took the wrong path, I went the wrong way or did something I shouldn't have. Waves of nausea.
I WONDER IF TURNING AROUND IS DOING OPPOSITE OF WHAT COME NATURAL.
FOR ME I TEND TO DRIFT TOWARDS DOING NICE THINGS BUT FOR THE WRONG MOTIVES.

SY,
Most of the time we are selfish. All of us. Even me. The World teaches us that this is OK. That life is all about us. This is why it's so hard to turn around. We want things the way WE want them, not the way GOD wants them.
SY,
you bring up a good point.
... MOTIVE.
perhaps a win or a loss depends or even HINGES on this one word
... MOTIVE.
A loss for me has been how much attention to give to others, and how much i ignore Stuff Jesus loves.
