Have you ever been so angry at yourself that you have
enough negative emotions to be angry at the rest of the world,
your relatives, neighbors, government, church, yes, even God?
You cannot really blame anyone else.
That adds to the frustration.
You are just not happy with yourself.
What to do?
To me it’s a clear signal that my need for grace has not ended.
God’s plan seems to consistently bring us to this place of helplessness.
It’s understandable that we cannot stop the earth from spinning.
It should be as obvious that we cannot perfectly conquer our fallen nature.
We cannot fellowship with God outside of grace.
Every attempt to reach Him without grace, even for a moment,
will end up with a useless manmade religion and superficiality.
We cannot live happily in any country , in any circumstances without
this revelation of grace.
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect
in weakness.” II Cor.12:10
I’m sure God knows what he is talking about. Do we?
