Reality is somnetimes harder than just going on like you have been. If you go on like you have been, you wouldn't change. Change is another word for a biblical word "repent." That is what Jesus calls His followers to do.
Jonathan Owen is my name and I am a bad person. Continually going after idols. The idols I build in my head of what I want out of this America dream that is being sold to me day and night. Lusting after women, wondering what it would be like to have a member of the opposite sex to actually see me in the same way.... honesty is what I am after.
Truthfulness! Faithfulness to my Father!
Oh God, I cry out to You. Save me by Your Spirit
So, you see, I am bad. But the light of the Gospel is brighter than all my badness. It has and will continue to overcome my badness by the power of the Blood of His Cross!!!!

Do you really believe that you are a bad person? I don't know of one person that does, you are human and have feelings...feelings that may seem bad, but may be the right thing after all. Sometimes you need to go with your gut feelings. It is not about greed, its about enjoying the life that God put you on this earth to do.
Love ya !!
Thanks for your comment but I do believe that nothing in me... of my own is good. The good you do see is only do to the One who has purchased my life by His death on the Tree. As I look to His glory, I am being changed from one degree of glory (goodness) to another
