These words started to come to me as I read the devotional lesson for today. I especially focused on the statement that our temptations grow us. I hope I can be honest with everybody today. I have some recurring temptations that I sometimes defeat and I sometimes give in to. I have to say I don't always pay attention to how I am feeling or what is triggering my weak moments. I feel really bad and not so smart when this happens. I really beat up on myself. Also, I haven't always remembered to ask God for help. I can honestly say sometimes I don't ask him for help because I don't want his help.
Also, I thought God gets tired of me falling for the same stuff and was tired of me coming to him and asking for forgiveness. I thought he was ready for me to be done with the foolishness but i have discovered that he is growing me. At one point there was a list of temptations that would defeat me and now there aren't as many on the list. At one point I did not even have a clue that these things were temptations that would lead me to sin but now I know. At one point I did not even care that I did certain things that led to sin but now I do. So you see, if God can work on me, there is hope for everyone.
Now, don't spend any time judging me as I am working my issues with God and we have a plan. Just be encouraged to know that God is available to you. Just ask him to help you and he will carry you through!
