Blissful sinners

lilitalienboi16:
Thank you Claudia, I know the vast majority of people here are very supportive and uplifting but still, perhaps caution and few moments thought should be considered.

Thewatchman,

You presume so very very much. You assumed incorrectly and so I must say: you have a very strange way of encouraging others, especially your brothers and sisters in Christ. You're not dealing with babylon and her children here, well, by God's grace at least not when you speak to me and I don't mean that in any boastful way: just that I am beyond suckling on the milk of God's Word. Thank you for the apology. :)

In Christ,

Alex

The challenge for us is not only to live righteously, but also without being self-righteous about it.  From personal experience I know that even if we think we have overcome in a certain area, we must guard against self-righteousness, lest we fall again in the very same area.  In his wisdom, God allows us repeated failures or very near failures, to show us that there is nothing good in us. "Might not sin against thee", indicates to me, a possibility of sinning, as against "will not sin against thee". As long as there is breathe in us we have to wrestle against this flesh and that keeps us humble and dependent upon Him every step of the journey.

The light of his word doesn't light up the entire journey, only the next step. Pay attention to the small things, because God is trying to teach you "in the moment". Not later, not tomorrow, but right now.
