Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
I really want to be obedient to God, but sometimes I just plain don't obey Him. That's all I can say. I wanted to do something during my Bible study to resolve, like Daniel and his friends. I did okay for a couple of weeks, but then... for some reason, I quit. I thought it might be a good idea to write about it so I will be accountable to you...and God. I wanted to be aware of the over-indulgence that we face. It's everywhere. It really is. I wanted to be different. But, I keep doing what I didn't want to.
We serve a God who forgives. He forgives me and He forgives you, too! I want a new beginning right this minute.
I love how He is the God of second chances...
He is the "head lifter"... I just love that... especially now.
I am a mess without Him...
He is so amazing...

oh girl, I hear you... I too am a MESS without Him. I just posted about some awesome changes He is working in me. He is faithful, we just have to continue to lay our stuff down before Him and ask Him to help us with it. We can't do it alone- Lord know we've all tried and failed. Don't give up, sweet friend, keep going, keep giving it to Him and you will see some amazing things happen. Love ya!!
Me, too! But He is so good...and sends friends like you to encourage...and His Word to change me and His love to carry me.
Praying for you and thankful for your moldability towards God. He has some wonders in store for you, Ang!
Have a lovely Thanksgiving,
Holly
Thankfully our sweet Lord give us another chance...again and again.
Hugs sweet friend!

Oh, where would we be without the forgiving Lord Jesus? The God of many chances. Such a good post and one I can certainly relate to. It is His amazing love that takes my very breath away in awe and pure gratitude. I need another chance every single day. And He graciously delivers. love you, annie
I was just reading this passage two nights ago. I love the unity that comes through His word. I can so relate!
Oh, how He must shake His head and laugh at us, His children. I'm sure He thinks that we'll never learn. And, we probably won't. But, He knows this about us...He made us. And He just forgives us, and loves us, tries to teach us...and waits patiently till He has to do it all over again. Thank-you, God, for continuing to hold and mold me.
I have had so many 'second chances', and God has been faithful in forgiving me of my sins... He is our redeemer and the lover of our souls, and I know when we walk close to Him, his ear is always attuned to our prayers.
It's in the trials of life that we are tested... so keep walking the path he has set before you, and you will find joy and blessings.
