We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check.
~ James 3:2 (NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm glad that James is real and honest, rather than pretentious and holier-than-thou. It helps us realize we're all in this same boat in life, struggling to fight the spiritual battles within us.
I don't know what you're struggling with, but you do. And God does, too. Be real with yourself and with God. Don't try to put on false pretenses, like everything's fine and you have your act together. It's when we can look our struggles in the face and admit they are a part of us that we can look God in the face and see His love in spite of them. That is when we can really grasp the amazing grace of God.
I hope you can lay aside whatever pride you may have about the personal struggles you face, and honestly come to God with all that you have. Let God show you the depth of His awesome love for all who turn to Him with an honest heart.
Love,
Joelene
