Making War

Lot on my mind right now as I should be doing homework. Another let down day as my flesh took over again. Continually God teaches me through my failures and I pray that I remember each lesson. Saved by grace really comes to mind at a time like this where im feeling really spiritually stressed. It helps to remember that we are covered by the blood of Christ, His blood, something we mention so often was not free but bough at a price. I've never seen Jesus, but I have an intimate relationship with Him (which i pray will keep growing deeper), and as I think and Picture God's son in my mind I see a great kind clothed in white who gave it ALL. Im a wretched, impure sexually immoral sinner here, living with darkness all around being attacked constantly, but the Holy Trinity saw something in me that was worthy for God to send his only son and die the death that I deserve. I've heard that same thing tens of times, but I pray that God would keep that truth to be the most real and sharp truth in my life, its easy to just know it but to hold it near your heart is a whole different story. So knowing that I (we) have eternal worth, paralleled with knowing a little bit about Gods loving nature, lets stand back up, return to the fight (not with our own strength but with His) and start to make war against ourselves and our fleshly desires once again. God I pray that you would send the Holy Spirit to guide our lives, to understand that you strengthen the weak, and that because we have been born again we are dead to sin, it has no power over us. God, despite our failures, destroy any footholds that sin may have it us, let all guilt shame and condemnation be gone and let us go as sinners, yes, but sinners saved by grace, amen.
