Surrendering to Jesus without understanding him is kinda pointless honestly. I know many christians believe if you accept Jesus as your savior you're free and clear to do whatever you like. The attitude that "you are a sinner and you can't change that" tends to be why people don't understand his teachings.
Why are you disapointed in yourself, you're only human my friend. We all make mistakes. Do you not listen to your conscience? It Guides you in life...
Consider Jesus your saviour if you wish, but try to understand his lessons instead of just blindly accepting hes the messiah. Once you do, you will see the path he laid for us.
Then you just have to learn to walk that path

My conscience is not clear, I am very troubled. I am disappointed in myself. I am trying to be a better person but I often fail. I am worried that my surrendering to "Jesus" would just be a cop out. A way to excuse my weakness.

"In your Patience Possess Ye Your Souls."
67. Jesus said,
“Whoever believes that the All itself is deficient
is himself completely
deficient”
"It is My Fathers Good Pleasure to give You the Kingdom."
39. Jesus said,
“The Pharisees and the Scribes
have taken The Keys of Knowledge
and Hidden Them.
They themselves have NOT entered,
nor have they allowed to enter
those who wish to.
You, however, be as wise as serpents
and as innocent as doves.”

I do listen to my conscience, that is why I'm disappointed. I know I could do more and be better, but I don't. I feel I am not living up to my potential. Yet if we have already chosen our path, why do I feel this way? Shouldn't I be able to see beyond these short comings and be aware of the greater goal?
I am trying to be honest here, especially to myself. I know that I am capable of more, why don't I have the will to push myself further? I am a good person and I try to help others. I always try to do the right thing. It's not like I am drowning puppies. I just know I could do more and be better.
I guess I need to go inside myself and look for the answers. I know that no one else has them. I think that maybe I am not desperate enough yet....
I want to thank you again for listening to my self pity and indulging me. I do want to learn and do believe there is a message in this for me. My pea brain is just not getting it. I'll keep trying!edit on 6-5-2011 by xizd1 because: More info.

1. And He said,
“Whoever finds the interpretation of these sayings will NOT experience death.”
2. Jesus said,
“Let him who seeks. Continue seeking. until he finds.
When he finds, he will become Troubled.
When he Becomes troubled,
he will be astonished,
and he will rule over The All.”

What I mean to say is, "Do you think that on some plane of existance, that these geometric systems actually exist?
51. His disciple said to Him,
“When will the repose of the dead come about, and when will the New World come?”
He said to them, “What you look forward to has already come, but you do Not recognise it.”
113. His disciples said to Him,
“When will The Kingdom come?”
Jesus said, “It will not come by waiting for it.
It will not be a matter of saying “Here it is” or “There it is”
Rather, The Kingdom of The Father is spread out upon the earth,
and men Do Not See it.”
85. Jesus said, “Adam came into being from a great power
and a great wealth, but he did not become worthy of you.
For had he been worthy, he would not have experienced death.”
49. Jesus said,
“Blessed are the Solitary and Elect,
for you will find The Kingdom.
For you are from it, and to it you will return.”
50. Jesus said,
“If they say to you, “Where did you come from?”
say to them, “We came from The Light,
the place where The LIGHT came into being on Its own accord
and established Itself and became manifest through their Image.”
If they say to you, “Is it you?”
say, “We are its children, and we are the elect of The Living Father.”
If they ask you, “What is the sign of your Father in you?”
say to them, “It is Movement and Repose.”
85. Jesus said,
“Adam came into being from a great power
and a great wealth,
but he did not become worthy of you.
For had he been worthy,
he would not have experienced death.”
So, where exactly is this located?
5. Jesus said,
“Recognise what is in your Sight,
and that which is hidden from you
will become plain to you.
For there is nothing hidden
which will not become Manifest.”
113. His disciples said to Him,
“When will The Kingdom come?”
Jesus said, “It will not come by waiting for it.
It will not be a matter of saying “Here it is” or “There it is”
Rather, The Kingdom of The Father
is spread out upon the earth,
and men Do Not See it.”
80. Jesus said,
“He who has recognised the world
has found the body,
but he who has found the body,
is superior to the world."
56. Jesus said,
“Whoever has come to understand the World
has found only a corpse,
and whoever has found a corpse,
is superior to the World.”
17. “He who has an ear (Not ears)
let Him hear what the Spirit says to the Assemblies
To Him who overcomes
I will give some of the Hidden Manna to consume.
And I will give Him a White Stone,
And on the Stone a new Name written
Which no one knows
except Him who receives it.”
39. Jesus said,
“The Pharisees and the Scribes
have taken The Keys of Knowledge
and Hidden Them.
They themselves have NOT entered,
nor have they allowed to enter
those who wish to.
You, however, be as wise as serpents
and as innocent as doves.”
102. Jesus said,
“Woe to the Pharisees,
for they are like a dog
sleeping in the manger of oxen,
for neither does he eat
nor does he let the oxen eat.”
