The Long Road

(1/2) > >>

Dynamo54:
Do y’all ever think about if the Father had not brought you to Bible Truths and given you an ear to hear and an eye to see?

It is a tough road I am on overcoming this beast! Some weeks it seems like 2 steps forward and 1 step back….but I am really glad to be here nevertheless.

All praise to Jesus Christ who WILL give victory to ALL…some earlier than others.

Wendy:
Dynamo54,




    Yes I think about it and i would never wanna go back it’s a long rough road but worth every step of the way in the progress we make I do the same 2 steps forward  10 back but thanks to God I keep moving
Praise God for His goodness and patience with us

God bless
Wendy

Dave in Tenn:
Wait till it feels like five steps forward and four back.   :D 

Surely he could have picked somebody better than me.  But I remember often about the "third of the trees" and the "third of the grass".  You know, even if it really is exactly 1/3 at a time, mathematically it never really ends.  A third of 90 leaves 60.  A third of 60 leaves 40.  A third of 40 leaves 26.67.  A third of 26.67 leaves 17.78.  And so on and so on.  What remains gets ever smaller, but it doesn't completely go away.       

Porter:
It really is a tough road to be on, isn't it. I'm fully convinced that “setbacks” are a considerable part of Christ's work in humbling us. It's one thing to say “no one is righteous”, but it's something else entirely to experience it personally and daily. That is why I'm always amazed that I even have faith and hope left at the end of the day.

Dynamo54:
Porter, as they say in the British parliament, “hear, hear”.

It is somewhat comforting in knowing others (who have  been long a long time at this) also have difficulty on this road. But not to wish difficulty on anyone!

Ray said the hardest thing we will ever do is make it into the Kingdom. I know that it is in no way the hardest physical thing I have done (at least not yet), but is the hardest mental and emotional thing (dare I say “spiritual”?) thing to continue on in overcoming the beast within.

I have to very very often remind myself that “I” will no way overcome…it has to be Christ in me. I just wish He would hurry up!
