My Failures

As I was driving to work and thinking about the past days, I was reflecting on the fact of how easy it is to sit and tell people what in life is our choices or the good, the happy and even the hard, but not really admitting anything. Sitting there pointing out how we should not judge and so on. God pointed out to me that we don't find freedom from things if we hide them, if we do not admit that we are struggling and that is when I realized that admitting ones sins not just to God but to others only strengthens us, only builds us up by allowing others to help us.

Now what I am about to tell you is scary, is maybe even hard to admit, but I admit it to share that I am not perfect and that I have struggles too. I struggle with the sin gratifying my flesh. Oh that sounds terrible, how can I admit that. I don't know how I admit that or even if I will post this, but when we keep our sins hidden we are no better doing that either. I am starting a course and that course is purity of life (second time through). We become captives of our sins, because we hide them from view. I don't want to be hidden anymore. I don't want to use my temptations that I have.

It is easy to become sucked in the secrets of our life, but keeping things secret will only destroy us. It is time to ask for help, time to be honest with the ones that love you and to be willing to put it out there, because it will only strengthen what God has brought into your life.

  1. I am sure this was not an easy blog to post Geoff and you continue to be a blessing not only to those who know you but an encouragement to on lookers as well. May God grant you the freedom you seek
