I am sore vexed

<< < (2/3) > >>

Whenever I read "Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God" I feel like I'll never make it. Reading some of the posts and threads of my forum members, I wonder why it seems like nothing is happening and I'm making no progress.
Loretta, your post tugs at my heart and reminds me of how badly I keep missing the mark. I really want to produce good fruit and be pleasing to God, but my heart seems so rotten and I seem so lacking and hopeless. No way I could be chosen.
Only God can do anything to make a change... I can't, Dave and often don't seem to want to even 'exert' myself. Lord, Help!!!

Dave in Tenn:
It's not the 'exertion', John.  It's the GOAL of the exertion.  REST.  That's what we don't want to do.

An inspiring reply Dave, thanks.

loretta:
Tks guys, I'm keeping my byline, at least for the moment! :)

Just being able to share my heart and reading your replies has been so encouraging.

Now I will TRY to Rest. :)

Ah, see the "creature revealed" in us.  I didn't see that before. Tks Dave

Loretta, I think God intends to make us recognize what this flesh really is - nothing good and to learn to totally hate/despise it and the lusts that it brings. And we will have this stinking flesh and it's lusts till the day we die and are released from this tomb of death we live in...

mercy, peace and love
Kat
