So let God work his will in you. Yell a loud no to the Devil and watch him scamper. Say a quiet yes to God and he’ll be there in no time. Quit dabbling in sin. Purify your inner life. Quit playing the field. Hit bottom, and cry your eyes out. The fun and games are over. Get serious, really serious. Get down on your knees before the Master; it’s the only way you’ll get on your feet. James 4:8 (Msg.)
Things have been improving quite dramatically. The dedicated love of friends has been quite refreshing. I’ve been studying the word with a beloved mentor 3 times a week and the accountability and the encouragement have worked wonders. You have to give yourself over to accountability. No one can force it on you. You have to decide that “this is what I need, and I’m commiting to it for my own good”. It’s not easy, pride must take a back seat. I’m loving the Master more each day, The dark humanistic cloud that amplified my cynicism is giving way to compassion. Master continue to make me tender.
