OK so i just got home from camp today and camp was amazing. this speaker had a word and really spoke to my heart about god and his love.
i was brought up in a christian home and i was on again off again with god (lukewarm) and when i was at camp i was filled with the holy spirit and it was awesome i felt so close to god. and i want to continue that feeling now while i'm at home. so i've decided to take the steps to stop SI-ing but i'm scared that i'll slip up and cut.

sometimes i feel like how will god be able to use me with all these scars all over me

but i'd just like some advice thanks so much

I understand that feeling of being lukewarm and wanting to stay close with him. Just keep trying. That's all you can do. Talk to God all the time and read His word. That will keep you close to Him.

And God can use anything he wants for good. He can even use your scars for good. He can use them to help someone else. He can use them to remind you of where you've been and what God has done in your life. He uses the worsts things in life for good all the time. Just keep that in mind. :)
