We are humans. We are frail. God knows our frame, knows our frailty and He is sovereign.
We are not perfect because we were never meant to be… Christ in us is the perfection.
There are two stages that a person must go through. The first is to acknowledge our humanness, weakness and imperfections. If one still thinks there's any good in them, it means they haven't gotten to the end of themselves and Christ cannot step into the picture. Once we acknowledge that, we can never be good in and of ourselves, we have crossed one stage.
The other equally and important next stage is not to acknowledge this frailty and remain like that. But to remember and remind ourselves that for this very reason, Christ died. He died in our stead and works righteousness in us. Whatever good we are or can ever do will be from him alone.
So, yes we accept that no matter how hard we try, we just… can’t. But praise be to God, our story doesn't end there, God's grace is at work in us and His Spirit helps us in our weakness.
If one stops in the first stage, it is a highway to apostasy.
This touched something deep in me mehnn.… trying to grow, trying to hold myself together, yet still having days where I feel fragile for no clear reason.
It’s strange how you can be trying so harrd and still feel like you’re learning how to be human all over again and then you hear things like(Why are you like this?” or “Aren’t you supposed to have it together by now?” people just expect you to be perfect all the time....
I read this piece while listening to 'Mortal man.' Loverly song man.
I could really resonate with that paragraph about Adam and God. Trust me when I say that question is deep in the back of the mind of every growing man.
I pray that in the end, even if we may never find an answer to that question, we look back and be proud of the man we have all become.
Honestly, it was a few days I found this answer too. Maybe the point of all we're doing is just to have the consciousness of the fact that we can never be perfect but we've still gotta keep pushing and making peace with that fact. But I think the real funny problem in all of this is that we often find it hard making peace with our nature of "Humanity" unconsciously even when we sometimes know the answer 😂😂😂
Hmm…
This is very true, but there's an after.
