Wow

Last night I was sitting in a puddle of dispair... I was focused in on all the sin I had allowed into my life, and feeling utterly helpless.

This morning.... David was online and I found myself sharing with him about my sin. He pointed me to Ephesians 6:10-18... a passage that I have not read or thought of for a long time. It's amazing how God can speak to us through friends... what an amazing piece of scripture. So right then.... I knelt down and prayed through the passage, and I put on the full armor of God. And now I have a joy and a peace that I have forgotten about! It may sound strange... 'cause it's such a simple thing... but here I am, utterly overjoyed and amazed at the answer to the means by which we can die to our old selves and live new lives as pleasing offerings to God. Put on the full armor of God, and stand firm! It's something that can be so hard to see when I'm stuck in a downward cycle of falling to sin... but it's for Freedom that Christ has set us Free. He's set me free from the chains of sin... and I'm going to live in that Freedom. I know I will fall again... and I know I'm at a high point now, and saying this is somewhat easy. But the will to fight has to start somewhere. I'm starting now. God help me to seek You with everything I am. :o) :'o)

(Thank You David, for your encouragement... and thank you for letting God speak through you)

God bless!
