I know you so often feel just like Paul felt when he said, “ For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Oh wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death. “ (Romans 7:18,19,24) But it’s important for you to understand that this battle will never end in this life, until you come to the end of your life’s journey and you are home here in Heaven with Me.
I bring a lot of good out of the battles that you have on a daily basis. First of all they help you to avoid the terrible sin of pride. (Proverbs 8:13) I love it when you are meek and lowly in heart – and your humility and brokenness is like a vacuum that draws My Spirit into yours. Also when you fall, you come to Me for My help and strength. You realize more fully how much you need Me and how in yourself you can do no good thing. (John 5:30) Meekness is one of the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23), and you get this meekness by realizing how much you need me. So don’t despise your faults and failings – don’t fall prey to the enemies condemnation. Remember that I do not condemn you. (John 8:11, Romans 8:1) I have already paid the price for your sins – and I will deliver you from this body of death when you come into My presence and hear My “well done”!
