“We had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we
should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead.”
-2 CORINTHIANS 1:9
Know
that Christ is not here to help you become a better person, but to make
you so weak in yourself and so sick of your own way that you can do
nothing but trust in Him to do what you at last realize you cannot do.
It does not matter if that something “we cannot do” is save ourselves,
control our temper, get along with others, raise our children, or
overcome a lustful habit. The course is the same. After many attempts
and failures we at last realize we
cannot, so we throw ourselves on the mercy of God and trust Him to do
what we cannot do.
