Just me trying to be honest with God.

"Wisdom is doing…There is no starting or stopping—only doing.” Peaceful Warrior

“You will say to them, ‘Be gone!’” Is.30.22 ESV

What is hindering me from loving God with my whole heart? What weakness of flesh draws me away from obedience to Him? How am I compromising my faith and devotion to Him? Certainly if I sing, “Jesus paid it all,” let me echo, “All to Him I owe.” But know this and I speak to my soul! Christ is not asking you to feel shame or guilt, but to say to your idols, “Be gone!” He is not asking me to accurately define repentance but to do it. Let me understand yes, that moment is His, but let me be this moment and let this moment simply pass into the next. Connect the dots in my life, O Lord my strength and redeemer. 12/31/2008 ts
