many times i have repented from the same sin but kept on coming back... i know it grieves the heart of GOD to see me being constantly defeated by the same sin. last night i realized that this has got to stop. i can't go on living like this anymore. i will not go on leading a double-life. and GOD, as always, never failed me, HE will always maneuver the situations to accomplish HIS will. today HE sent me someone whom i could discuss this thing with, somebody who has been delivered from the same struggle. and when we prayed i know GOD was with us, i felt HIS presence. didn't HE promise that in HIS word, that whenever there are 2 or 3 gathered together in HIS name HE's there in the midst of them?
i know the battle's not yet over but the battle's not mine but GOD's. i may fail HIM again one way or another but i know He's just there to pick me up, dust me off and inspire me to keep on.
yes, following GOD will cost me self denial and it will hurt for sure but the cost of not following HIM will surely be greater. i don't wanna miss out on GOD's best plan for me.
as we have discussed in our small group today, anyone of us is not indispensable to GOD. HE has a plan, yes, and HE would give us the chance to participate in accomplishing this plan but if we don't want to obey, then it's up to us. but one thing's for sure, HE will accomplish HIS plan one way or another, with or without us. and the consequence of our disobedience is us missing out on HIS blessings that would've been ours had we obey.
thoughts to ponder : BELIEF IS THE ROOT OF OBEDIENCE. if you say that u believe in GOD and yet do not obey HIS word, then you're lying.
