Romans 5:3-5 3 Not
only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces
endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces
hope, 5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has
been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
Thank God that He is infinitely more patient with us than we
are with ourselves. We assume that is we slip and fall, we’re out of His grace
and mercy. If we stumble we aren’t walking within His will and that there must
be something wrong with us….
Grace and mercy are balm for the slips and falls. We will
continue to have the old “fleshly desires” but we must begin to practice the
new knowledge….the more you practice the new the more distant the old thinking
becomes.
Thought for the day:
Do you automatically go to the old thoughts? Do you find yourself thinking
about what you should have said or done in situations that involve conflict or
discomfort? Is your ego so fragile that you have to point out the character
defects and flaws in others?
