Again, Again and Again

Again I call you and again you answerAgain I need you and again you're thereAgain I reach out and again you hold meYou console me once more, and again
DONNIE MCCLURKIN - AGAIN LYRICS

Again and Again I fail God. 
Again and Again I disobey His Word.
Again and Again what I desire holds more weight than what He says.
Again and Again sin leaves a bitter after taste that I do not like yet
Again and Again I end  up in this position. 

Feeling lost, alone, so unworthy. 
I feel like soon, if it hasn't happened already,
That my 70 x 7 will soon run out. 
I feel like there is so much I can do. 
I see the warning signs. 
The enemy has no creativity when coming to me. 
Yet I allow him to win these small battles. 
I allow what I want and feel to get in the way of God and I

The thing is though that I focus so much on fixing me all on my own,
That I never go to Jesus. 
The more my shortcomings show is the more I'm reminded of two things. 

1. There is no way I can do it on my own. God knew that we couldn't fix ourselves. So he sent Jesus. Whose blood has the power to save  us from ourselves. Jesus is our VICTORY. He has already won the war. 

2. His grace is sufficient. Paul spoke about never boasting in himself but boasting in his short comings. He wanted us to understand that the he was nothing compared to Jesus. That His strength came as a result of the power of Jesus in his life. He could do nothing. 

Likewise, Jesus can help us say no to flesh, because from what I've learnt, flesh will always be there. We will always have the need to satisfy our needs, whether they are what God wants for us or not. 

Saying no to our flesh and choosing to be living sacrifices is something we need to do daily. Its a continuous process until that day when the Lover of our Souls comes to take us home. 

So my friends, do not  believe the lies the enemy tells you. God loves you. He wants nothing but the best for you. 

Every time I turn around, the most amazing thing I've foundYou're there to pick me up each time when I fall downYou never seem to mind and you're always treating me so kindTime after every time, you've proven once again
