But so Am I

This morning I'm thinking about dealings with people. We are no doubt all blind in some areas. But our hope is "the mind of Christ". Maturity is not always the out come of trial, but I think without trials, we will never be fully mature.

First, I think of a man who watches religious TV, Religiously. He wouldn't miss Chuck Stanley. But he finds it no problem to skate all of Chuck's teaching and abuse his wife, both physically and verbally.

Secondly, I think of a friend who speaks a good confession in Christ, but constantly disobeys truth. She is quick to point out my times of wavering faith, while not seeing her own bondage.

Thirdly, I think of a friend who almost always shifts blame, on others for his lack of integrity.

These three people are all in life crises, either financially or spiritually or both. When I am around them I usually feel evil. Yet, each one confesses Christ as Lord. Faith is the key ingredient we all struggle with.

For so am I, in struggle with consistency of faith. So do I, fall short of the Glory. So do I, sin.

I am happy to have a friend called Jesus. I am happy for them as well. For He is our hope and victory over every fallen part of our life!

2Cr 2:14 Now thanks [be] unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
