This is a rhetorical question.\u00a0 I am simply venting.<\/p>\n
I know what I am to do, how I am to live, and I can’t do it.\u00a0 I know I am to give myself up, I know I am to surrender, but I can’t do it.\u00a0 Despite my best efforts (which in theory are aided and abetted by Christ\/Holy Spirit and\/or wouldn’t even be there without Him) I submit to my pride, my selfishness, my desire for recognition.\u00a0 So\u00a0 I am ashamed, and I dishonour the name of Christ.<\/p>\n
I know, I know, sanctification is a process, He who began a good work will finish it, the Author is perfecting my faith, etc.\u00a0 Like I said I’m venting.\u00a0 Vent done.<\/p>\n
Psalm 38:3-6 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin. For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me. My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness. I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.<\/em><\/p>\n 38:15 For in thee, O Lord, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.<\/em><\/p>\n 38:18 For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.<\/em><\/p>\n 38:21-22 Forsake me not, O Lord: O my God, be not far from me. Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.<\/em><\/p>\n Proverbs 30:12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is a rhetorical question.\u00a0 I am simply venting.
