DUST ON THE BIBLE

Mistakes

Paul was a very driven man. He had passion for
what he believed in, before he met Christ he had a passion
for eliminating Christians, after he met Christ he had
a passion for souls. From reading Paul's works in
the Bible we could see his struggles to bring himself
into submission to Christ. To be self disciplined.
Paul struggled just like you and me. Read what
he said one time after he knew he had failed.

O unhappy and pitiable and wretched man that I am!
Who will release and deliver me from (the shackles)
of this body of death?
O thank God! -- He will!through Jesus Christ, the Anointed One,
our Lord! So then indeed I of myself with the mind and heart
serve the Law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.

(Romans 7:24, 25)

I found a interesting quote about this:
First, these words are the language of a regenerate man; second, of an impotent man; third, of a wretched man; and fourth, of a man on the borders of complete liberty.

Paul found liberty in repentance to God.

And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness " Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.

ThereforeI am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.

2 Corinthians 12:9-10

I am reminded that when we fail it is not a occasion
to beat our chest and hate ourselves, it is a occasion
to grow in Christ, and recommit ourselves to Him.

It is a chance to find liberty from sin through Christ.

This should be reassuring to each of us, that no matter

what we do wrong, we can run to Christ, and find grace,

mercy and forgiveness at his feet, and seek to learn

from our mistakes and mature in Christ.

He has not punished us as our sins should be punished;

he has not repaid us for the evil we have done. He has

taken our sins away from us as far as the east is from the west.

Psalm 103:10,12

I will forgive them for the wicked things they did,

and I will not remember their sins anymore.

Hebrews 8:12

If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive our sins

and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

1 John 1:9

If you fall, stay there for a minute on your knees,

confess your sins, ask God to guide you into a better

walk with him and to strengthen you in His might.

Humble yourself, admit your mistakes, learn from

them, and forgive yourself. This then is the maturing

process of every Christian.

When you reach the end of your rope
you will find the hem of His garment.

I have often felt that many things that bring us to our knees,
teach us while we are down there to learn to pray.

These possibilities are open to everyone.
Don't tell God you are not good enough, do what He asks.
Don't tell God to send someone else, He asked you.
Don't tell God you don't have time to pray, He said seek me first.
Don't neglect the things of God. He said we are to
pick up His cross daily and follow Him.
Don't tell God anything is bigger than His ability.
God is the Great I Am, I am whatever you need.

There is no pit so deep, God's love is not deeper still.

Not my will but thine oh Lord.
