There have been several times in my life that I felt like I was trapped with no way to escape. I had sunken so deep into my sin I felt like what's the use of even trying to make it right with God. I felt unloved, worthless and thought my chances had run out with God. I was so bound I couldn't see my way to be freed. I knew that I was wrong, wanted to make it right but the devil had me trapped in defeat and self loathing. I beat up myself and allowed the negative thoughts to take up residence in my mind. It was too late for me, at least that's what I thought.
You see, what I was experiencing was a type of godly sorrow. While I didn't understand it at the time, it was necessary for my deliverance. Some people have no convictions when they do wrong and that's when you should really be worried. My low place opened my eyes to see I was imperfect and in constant need of God's help. If I had any pride or a self righteous attitude it died in that place. My sorrow was the roadmap to my freedom and is for yours too. Feeling bad/convicted about the wrong you've done is the first of many steps to your way out. It is imperative you stay focused on God and walk or run in the direction that pleases him. I ain't gonna lie it will be hard, so keep in mind that anything you give up for God is always worth it now and in the end. Do whatever it takes to get out and move now while you still have a chance.
