Dear Reader,
I know I still have yet to post the Part 2 to the submission post, but God has really been dealing with me on various other issues lately. This is more of a confession post. This post will be short, but I wanted to state a few things. One in particular, I have in all of my life sought to win the praise and adoration of others, not for the sake of Christ, but for the sake of self. . . myself. I do not believe that in even one act of kindness, generosity, or work of "good", have I sought to make much of Christ. In this aspect, I believe that I have been so prideful to think of myself before God. Please join me in prayer that I would DAILY see myself and works as worthless without the redeeming work of Christ and the love of God. He is the ultimate end to everything, and deserves ultimate glory. O God help me! Thank you for the immense grace and mercy and patience you have given this undeserving child!
" 6 But dhe gives more grace. Therefore it says, e“God opposes the proud, but dgives grace to the humble.” 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. fResist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 gDraw near to God, and he will draw near to you. hCleanse your hands, you sinners, and ipurify your hearts, jyou double-minded." James 4:6-8 (ESV)
