Connecting Experience Question 2. When you have tried to get out of The Room of Good Intentions, did others try to stop you ? Yes . How did that make you feel ? Sad . I realized that it may be a very lonely road called Trusting God.

Question 3. What does it cost you to connect what God says is true about you with how you actually live ? Everything. The EVERYTHING answer is not required of you all at one time. However, there is a knowing of where we are going with this, thus I gave the answer EVERYTHING.
How do you do that ? First you take a good look at how you live. As the Holy Spirit reveals to you different aspects of your life , rather than hide, you stand still . Rather than try to fix what He has shown you, you stand still . Rather than go to your friends and say, " I have this horrible problem , can you fix it ?" you stand still . (Do not mis-understand this, we do need each other in this process of change . At least it would be helpful if there is another person around. What you expect of others is the point here.)
You stand still and listen for the truth about how you have been living to come to your ears and heart . Then you accept that God loves you, just as you are, right there, just standing there.
If you find it hard to accept then you remember what He has told you : John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave........His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him will have eternal life. You decide , am I a "whosoever"? You decide "do I believe"? When those two decisions have been made then you decide if you believe that God loves you, standing there.
I tell you this standing is very important. Yes, of course you are eventually going to take a step, but where you are standing before you take that step will mean the difference between success and failure. Success being a step down the road of trusting God and failure being turned back into pleasing God.
