Feeling some guilt and shame

[SteveL]

Wow! I was very touched by the scripture you quoted, praise God! It really gave me peace in my heart.

Yes, confess to God, and press forward. My sisters need hear NOT one word of my true feelings or guilt or repentance... it's between me and God (and well, a board full of brothers and sisters in Christ I have yet to meet! lol)

Also, our fellowship group has grown to 20+ members. We are dividing in 2 months. In the past, there was an issue with members wanting to be on the other group, and this caused resentment. Our group activities for example would be exclusive to that cell group, so if cell group A does an activity Friday night you would like to attend, but you're in cell group B... yeah, you see what happens?

So the scripture you quoted is so perfect for my feelings in this situation, both the book club and cell group multiplication. Thank you. Indeed, keep your eyes on Jesus, do not fret with what your brothers and sisters are doing or thinking (in the sense that it becomes more of a fleshy desire of lust, competition, jealousy, etc. versus a Godly one i.e. caring and praying for one another's needs).
