Help! I've Fallen and I Can't Get Up...

We are all human – We all fall short of the Glory of God. We can be trucking along just fine and then boom! We slip up and we wonder why we were so easily beset. We said that we weren't going to do thus and so; and find ourselves right back to something God had either delivered us from or we walked away from; only to return back to it because we thought that if offered us something that would fill some missing void. We may as well accept the truth of us being human and we will not walk perfectly but we can have a perfect spirit because of the Spirit of Jesus Christ in us – we are nothing of or within ourselves – we are sinful by nature. We were born into sin. Job said that “A man born of a woman is but a few days and full of trouble” - Trouble, falling short, tripping into sin or walking into directly. And we pray our way out of them all because it s a part of life. Don’t allow the guilt to get to you. God already knew where we would file a claim on a slip and fall and ask for repentance; that is why Jesus is our advocate, our attorney. He is just allowing us to find out something about ourselves that we must become acutely aware of, until it becomes chronic. This life is meant to reveal to us, who is within us and to learn to trust him in all our ways because he is here for us regardless of what we find ourselves in the midst of having to endure – Life is about teaching us about whom it is that created us. God only wants to reveal himself to us - To see why he loves us so much that he sent his Son Jesus to die as the perpituation and perfect sacrifice for our sins that we will surely commit. Our sins of yesterday, the ones we will commit today and the ones in the future. It is Jesus’ righteousness that cleanses us and what the Father sees when he looks at us and says “Yes” when he has every right to say “No”.
