I Didn't Know the Truth

Ok... it's on my heart. It's ok for me to feel this way. Catholicism did me wrong. It kept me from knowing my Savior intimately. As long as I was a Catholic, I was judged. God has told me numerous times that there is no condemnation left for my sins. My sins could never be taken away by the act of confession. Repentance never worked. I couldn't pray my way out no matter how many times I prayed to Mary, the mother of God. She is a great woman, she should be respected, but for no other reason other than because she believed God. My sins were only taken away by the blood of Jesus. He is the One who deserves my praise. Do you get what I'm saying, and I am trying to say this with all of the grace I understand, which may/may not be enough. Lord, I pray that it is. Are you Catholic or some other religion that follows a doctrine not in accord with the bible? Do you experience Jesus Christ living for you? Do you experience His presence? Do you know that once you have Him, He will never leave you? "I once was lost, but now I'm found. Was blind, but now I see." If you are not experiencing any of those things that I questioned above, then I want to humbly ask you to look in the bible. Do not question your religion, because like I've said before Jesus Christ wants a relationship. I don't wish for anyone to feel judged by this. Convicted... well, maybe, but not judged. Jesus said "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life." You want to know how to live, ask the Way. You want to know what's factual, go ask the Truth. You want to know what it means to never die, ask the Life.
Praise you Lord. Thankyou Jesus!!!
