Why I Can't Give Up
In life, God places many challenges in our lives to develop our moral character and to draw faith from our spiritual veins. Abram faced such a trial in Gen. 22 when God called him to sacrifice his own son, Isaac. Abram did not back down from this test, but remained faithful.
Personally, I have crumbled under many much smaller testings. I have given up on so many important areas of my life. And now I face one of the hardest crossroads I will ever face. The decisions I make in the next few weeks and months will have severe reverberations into the remainder of my life. I feel a rising inability to give up on those I care for the most but find unable to keep close to my heart. Pride and insecurity seep out of my flesh and cause havoc without relent. I am incredibly full of sin to the point that I want to vomit. It causes doubt to rise in myself and others. Will I stand the test this time? Will I remain faithful? O God that this could be so! Deliver me from my inadequacy!
"Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!" Romans 7:24-5

God expects you to fail more than you do. Remember that he is never dissapointed in you and shows only pride when you are around. Remember that every decision you make in life is critical. Do not think God only works any more or less or will determine your future any more or less within a couple weeks or couple months. God is working all the time and affecting you all the time. The question is usually not "what will happen to affect me?" but "Am I paying attention to how things are changing and what God is showing me?" Just some thought. You are nowhere different than the greatest among us and the lowest among us have been before.
