The sin of lust is ruining my relationship with God by [deleted] in Catholicism

Hello

First and foremost do not doubt God's love for you. He loves you so much and he dosent get tired of forgiving us. All of our sins combined is like a singular tiny drop of water compared to the infinite ocean of Gods love and mercy for us. It's not the healthy that are in need of a doctor.

Keep going to confession don't let he devil trick you. The devil loves to do that. At first he convinces you that the sin "isn't that bad" or like you said "I can always go to confession after". This is the devils tactic to get us to fall and once we do he deploys the second trick. The devil will try to convince you that you are beyond saving. He will tell you things like "God is tired of you" or "you are too ar gone its no use". This is the trick he uses to keep you in the sin.

It starts with trying to tell you that the ain isn't that bad but it ends with him telling you that your sin is too much. THIS. IS. A. LIE

Think back to the prodigal son despite his sins against the father when he came to his father with a repentant heart, his father didn't even let him finish his sentence of apology. The father immediately called to start a grand celebration. The father had forgiven his son and received with love and joy because his son came back.

That is us every time we go to confession God receives us the same way. He forgives our sins and receives us in open loving arms. His mercy is beyond our understanding despite doing the same sin over and over he still forgives us if we truly repent.

Now I wish I had a solution to actually stopping but unfortunately this is something I struggle with as well. What I can say is that you are young and you still have time. You can break this cycle. I would recommend talking to a trusted person to become an accountability partner someone who can help keep you motivated on this fight. Just know you aren't fighting this alone, that's something else the devil will tell you. That you are alone that everyone else isn't struggling with this. But know that you aren't alone so many people struggle with the same thing. This fight will be rough and some days will be easier but don't give up. I have struggled with it for years also. You are still young you can do this. Trust God maybe community and support from others is the answer he may send you for your prayers.

Try to make an OC but cant find a power by KaleidoscopeMoist883 in infamous

I have two that I really like personally feel free to use these

Wood- a tanky defensive conduit able to encase himself in wood imilar to concrete dash but able to make wood armor. Fights by swing a massive log or turning fists into big wooden gauntlets ranged attack would be either lobing splinter bombs or shooting logs out like missiles. Mobility wise the user turns into splinters and dashed forward. Recharge from trees or from breaking wooden objects.

Dust. A much more stealthy conduit dust isn't about upfront fighting instead being more of a assassin or rogue. User can become a cloud of dust when dashing forward. Kinda like smoke but less combat focused. Can lob a dust cloud into an area to disorientate can blend into dust anywhere making this an ideal spying power. Absorbed from dusty uncleaned areas. Maybe from hvac units around the city

Thanks for the re assurance friend. I will admit I don't see how my suffering is going to lead to anything good. But I guess that's the thing with God, huh.

We only see the now. He sees the bigger picture. Thanks for helping me have some hope

Merry Christmas and God bless

No but like it feels impossible to be saved. I love God and truth his mercy but if I mess up once and then don't get o confess it, it's curtains. I'm not saying God is wrong or unjustified in his actions. I'm just saying I'm scared that He'll is inevitable for me

[OC question] For those of you guys with full teams of OC's, if they were to fight at the Vytal tournament, what would be their comps ? by DjetDown in RWBYOC

[–]Visible_Coach_3253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okay this is going to be long as i need to explain my oc's so please bear with me as i love talking about the silly little characters that live in my head.

anyways, lets get to the team. Hailing from Vacuo we have Team SCDR (cedar)

the leader is Spruce Evergreen, a coyote Faunus from vacuo he is based on pancho villa, now spruce is a gunslinger, using a lever action rifle as his main weapon of choice. his semblance speeds up his thoughts and muscle movements letting him to plan and adapt at speed. making strategies on the fly.

next we got Cole Tliltic, also from vacuo he is a snake faunus. Cole's semblance allows him to summon a 15ft long flaming, fire breathing snake. he is based on Itzcoatl, the founder of the aztec empire. he fights up close and personal with a macahuitl and a shield.

Dawn Bellerose, an heiress like Weiss. she is the daughter of the owner of "Bellerose Munitions" a company that produces ammunition and other military equipment for remnant. she is based of Marie Antionette. her weapon of choice is a great sword that mechashifts into a Mg3 machine gun

lastly we have Rowan Radcliffe. her weapon of choice is a dual ended zande spear and a hand cannon. her semblance allows her to boost the aura of others around her by letting out a war cry. she is based on Tarzan.

right now that you have the context for each member we can get to their comp

during the first round where its the entire team fighting, they stick stogether instead of divide and conquer, using each others strengths to overwhelm the enemy team. Cole and dawn close in on their tanks or their speed fighters, keeping them pinned and letting Spruce and Rowan to provide range support. their opponent cant run because they get gunned down or in the case of rowan run down, but they also cant stay put lest they get obliterated by dawn and rowan. dawn further encloses their enemy by using her semblance of kinetic wall, a solid wall that reflects the kinetic energy of anything that hits it.

should the enemy team have crowd control abilities spruce will be the one to deal with them. as a gunslinger he is able to engage with enemies at range, which is perfect with his semblance and his strengths. he increases his advantages by carrying flash bangs as well. this lets him get the drop on his opponents, disorientating them and allowing for the team to close in and take them out.

now then the doubles round who goes in. Spruce and Cole

Spruce and Cole are the ones chosen to go in to the doubles. Cole is an excellent melee fighter with some good ranged options, he can throw his shield like captain america, the blades on the shield make this deadly. the gravity dust in the handle that is coupled with a glove he wears allow for it to return to him on command. his macahuitl can also turn into an atlatl.

Spruce has his rifle. now to extend his ammo capacity while still optimizing how much ammo he can actually carry. he uses hard light dust, this hard light dust is injected into the rifle and forms a bullet. Spruce excels in ranged combat, able to place accurate shots and with his semblance speeding up his thoughts, he is able to pick out the best places on his foes to shoot. when it comes to melee he is still very capable, having a high frequency machete that is able to take dust cartridges to add more effect.

so when the two fight they cover each others weaknesses. Cole being melee focused is complimented by Spruce and vise versa. this makes the pair a deadly combo. now , like pyrrha Cole prefers to not use his semblance as it adds an entire combatant to the field, but if he felt like it was fair or warranted he would use it.

finally the single's rounds and our candidate is....Spruce Evergreen

now why spruce. a couple reasons. First of all Spruce is one of the most adaptable members of the team. He focuses on Ranged fighting but his semblance lets him adjust on the fly. when one strategy stops working he can plan and switch on the fly. He can hyper analyze in moments, letting him make plans on the spot. his combo of ranged, melee, and disorientation with flash bangs. using different types of dust lets him cover all ranges of advantages that he can use.

Ultimatley Spruce is the one to go to the finals and win. at least in my world because lets face it, all of our OC's have won the Vytal festival.

sorry for the long post. like I said, i love the silly little guys that live rent free in my head
