Those who think they can do it on their own end up obsessed with measuring their own moral muscle but never get around to exercising it in real life. Those who trust God’s action in them find that God’s Spirit is in them—living and breathing God! Obsession with self in these matters is a dead end; attention to God leads us out into the open, into a spacious, free life. Focusing on the self is the opposite of focusing on God. Anyone completely absorbed in self ignores God, ends up thinking more about self than God. That person ignores who God is and what he is doing. And God isn’t pleased at being ignored. (Rom 8:5).
I know how hard this is – to tear yourself away from what you’re facing and ‘somehow‘ re-channel your heart’s activities to prayer and praise. But, trust me, instead of working the Rubric’s cube of your mind for the umpteenth time, just stop and try it …
Papà says “grab hold of My hope child, it will lead you to victory – and Me.” X
