forgive

Sometimes, you come to a point when you realize your struggle is not with circumstance, need, or relationship but with sin. And when you come to know this, the battle is no longer a matter of the head but of the heart. When you know and you still struggle with the feeling or the act or the want, you don’t need someone to tell you it’s wrong. You don’t need correction, you need forgiveness. You need the grace and the kindness of God (Romans 2) to be shown to you by someone stronger than yourself.

I had a time of confession last night, first to other believers and then to God. Today, He demonstrated kindness toward me in a very tangible, mind-blowing way. And it’s not a reward for admitting to Him my sin. No, it’s His answer to my cry for help.

Praise be to God.
