You know, I hate that being human means that it is my basic nature to move away from God. That with every day and every move, if not in some motion towards God, is away from God. I have an extreme dislike to this painful truth. And I know that the only way that we can truly overcome our own fatal humanistic qualities is to Reach out and grasp God. Everything that He is and Everything that He wants us to be in Him. I know that it can be pretty self-defeating to dwell on our own short comings, but how else do you learn from it and move yourself away from it if you don't address it. And how on earth can you address your faults without feeling the pain you brought on yourself. I guess everything in moderation, even pain.
I just want to live a life that is thriving in God. A life that is worthy of Christ's sacrifice. Remove all those things that take away from my Joy in Christ. I want that Joy, and all of it that God has given me. Why short change ourselves from one of the most amazing windows into what our eternity with Christ has to offer, Complete Joy.
