It's all a part of that human nature- the very thing we'll struggle with until our time on earth is done.

I can so relate to him. you are so right when you say that we cannot do this without the healing hand of Jesus and so much grace!

Only Christ was perfect, we are imperfect humans (made perfect through the blood covering of Jesus, yes) and Satan still rules this world until Christ returns again. We can do better in our walk with the Lord always, but don't beat yourself up over stumbling, just learn from it and move on. You do a good job of keeping the Lord at the center of your life and your witness spreads farther then you can even imagine! May God bless you richly in this new year, keeping you safely under His wing.Farm Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01670652033638218941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7955556559266514067.post-35114523372554512552016-01-05T09:53:00.117-06:002016-01-05T09:53:00.117-06:00Such great reminder that we all are in the struggl...Such great reminder that we all are in the struggle to do better.
