When you want to do right, but can not...
There is no one perfect but God. I know that you have heard this, well, its true, but I believe that God can help us work towards, perfection. Everyday that we live, we have another opportunity to get it right, to do it better, to repent, to ask for forgiveness, to believe God to help us obtain the supernatural breakthrough in the areas that are and have challenged us the most AND for the longest time. God is able. I don't care what it looks like, who knows about it, God can forgive and He will forgive. He will close the mouth of the lion. He will forgive y(our) sins and move them as far as the east is from the west from us. There are things that I have received God's forgiveness for and I know that He has forgiven me.
I feel very strongly that many people are suffering but there is a balm in Gilead. Jesus came that we might have life and have it more abundantly. Do you want that abundant life? If so, start opening your life up now to receive in. Allow God to go in and do some spring cleaning in the deepest recesses of your being. He is able to tidy you up just right. He will clean you up like nothing else.
Oh, I bless Him! He is a GREAT God and He wants to bless His people.
Truly, we need to stop worrying SO much about what other's think and concern ourselves with what God thinks. After all, He is the one who is able to keep us from falling and from dashing our foot against a stone. He will light the pathways of our life when things look dim and dark. He knows the way that you and I are to take and He will lead us therein.
Romans 7:19-25The Message (MSG)
But I need something more! For if I know the law but still can’t keep it, and if the power of sin within me keeps sabotaging my best intentions, I obviously need help! I realize that I don’t have what it takes. I can will it, but I can’t do it. I decide to do good, but I don’t really do it; I decide not to do bad, but then I do it anyway. My decisions, such as they are, don’t result in actions. Something has gone wrong deep within me and gets the better of me every time. It happens so regularly that it’s predictable. The moment I decide to do good, sin is there to trip me up. I truly delight in God’s commands, but it’s pretty obvious that not all of me joins in that delight. Parts of me covertly rebel, and just when I least expect it, they take charge. I’ve tried everything and nothing helps. I’m at the end of my rope. Is there no one who can do anything for me? Isn’t that the real question?The answer, thank God, is that Jesus Christ can and does. He acted to set things right in this life of contradictions where I want to serve God with all my heart and mind, but am pulled by the influence of sin to do something totally different.
Blessings,
