repentant26

You have hit the nail right on the head for me.

Thank you, Maya! Yeah, even now I can feel the difference within myself. My wife has noticed, my father-in-law sees it, and it feels good. I feel like I'm finally waking up out of a bad dream. I know I have a ways to go, but I'm no longer tormented like I was a while back.

Misshalfway, that was an awesome response. Definitely, conversion is a process not an event. "Sin never was happiness" is something I see now. Everyday I will try to get better, no more steps backwards. I just want to earn Jesus' and Heavenly Father's love back. I hurt them with my sin and I owe them so much. I owe them leading a good life from now on.

Thank you for the answers thus far, guys. I just wanted to hear more perspectives. I have to endure to the end from now on. I just didn't want Heavenly Father to say "You didn't pay enough for what you did" when my time comes. I need to trust what the bishop has set forth for my penance.

Hey guys, I'm gonna try to make this short. I sinned grievously in the past, went to bishop and confessed. I expected life changing consequences (bishop went to stake,who in turn gave him authority over my situation). I was given steps to gain full fellowship, and I'm complying. Once the bishop makes a judgment, and I follow his advice, can I stand blameless before Heavenly Father if I do my part? I confessed, repented, forsaked the sins, and trying to move forward. I just expected a worse outcome. Thank you in advance.
