I need HIS help.
Without HIM, I fall.
Lately, I've been feeling like I can do it myself. I'm a big kid now. I don't need anyone or anything. I'm in control.
But how quickly God pulls me back down and says, "NO!" The Holy Spirit is screaming in my head, yet somehow I let the desires of my flesh take over.
I know what I ought to do. But it feels so good to...not.
It's like an arm-wrestling competition. I'm fighting...I'm fighting...my arm starts shaking as the pressure builds...my opponent is strong...i'm quivering..muscle spasms...my hand hits the table..flat.
Muscle gave up.
I lost.
Guilt is taking over.

We have entered into a saving RELATIONSHIP with Jesus Christ,
but we still have affairs with sin." — Tim Chaddick

I don't want to have affairs anymore.

stumbling is often the most humbling thing that can happen to us. it's a reminder of the fact that we can't do it on our own. thanks for the reminder
so true! It's so hard for me to wrap my head around a God who continues to call be to Himself even though I keep falling short of what He wants me to be.
