From 11 Mar 2009
Good morning! How are we faithing? Boy do I have trouble squashing the lusts of the flesh! How about you? Hot rods, guitars, booze, food, whatever it is it is a tough chore to keep those desires in check. It's way to easy to give into our desires and some of them are quite consuming. Think about what you think about all the time, is it proper? Is it good to think on those things? Is it in line with the Word's teaching? Be honest with yourself with out being self condemning, you know if it is right or not. We are saved be grace. Grace understands our failings and loves us and offers us redemption regardless.
Titus 2:11-14
For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope-the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.
NIV
Those are reassuring words when we have trouble getting past fleshly lusts. Confess, repent, discard or prioritize, what ever is prudent these things we deal with every day. You ain't alone and we can lift each other up to the Father. Grace has covered all this things we do so stop beating yourself up and move on. When these things come up again remember we have the right to go to the Father and repent. For me that happens alot...geech...
Titus 3:3-7
At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.
NIV
Reassuring no? Kinda lets us know that we all endure the same junk and have the same access to Jesus. Cool man because I fail regularly.
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your grace that saves up from ourselves. Lord help us recognise when we drop the ball and help us repent quickly. Lord you are so great and loving I don't understand how or why you are but am sure glad you do! Father, help us please you and spread your love and grace. Help us be fearless in this! in Jesus name, Amen
