The Truth...

 The truth? The truth about my life as a worshiper of Christ my Savior.How I approach Him matters completely...to Him.

Some of the following words are from Early Puritan written prayers. 'I praise thee continually for permission to approach thy throne of grace,and to spread my wants and desires before thee.I am not worthy of thy mercies and blessings for I am far gone from  original righteousness; My depraved nature reveals itself in disobedience and rebellion My early days discovered in me discontent,pride,envy,revenge. Remember not the sins of my youth, nor the multiplied transgressions of later years, my failure to improve time and talents, my abuse of Mercy's and means, my wasted sabbaths, my perverted seasons of Grace my long neglect a thy great salvation, my disregard of the friend of sinners. Help me while I confess my guilt, and help me to feel it deeply, with self abhorrence and despair, yet to remember there is hope indeed, and to see the lamb that takes away sin. Amen. You see when we have two intentions of repenting, we will not approach our heavenly Father  in a state of arrogance.If you think you are not so bad,or u compare your sins with the sins of others,or you love anyone or any thing more than God,than ur not serious. Now that IS THE REAL TRUTH.

Remember

 Good morning what am I remembering this morning? Remembering that I am but flesh. But also that I have the promise from God that I have an eternal home with Him waiting for me. I do not think of myself  higher than I should. No lofty thoughts.No selfrighteuousness.These things I must have God's help to subdue. Then my earthly  tabernacle is ready for the indwelling Holy Spirit to do Gods  work in me.
