Mercy will undoubtedly come, but it may not completely soothe all our wounds. On those days, we must turn our eyes away from our wounds and look at what we have in Christ and what our mission is going forward. <br /><br />may the awfulness of sin and the pain of sin make our knowledge of God's holiness and God's forgiveness all the more wonderful in our minds so that we may have all the more reason to praise Him.<br /><br />i'm glad you are aware of the enemies attacks and that you are resolved to overcome! once again, good post. it was much needed!JoeyTriphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08913232546262442684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178988036589413520.post-88966942961722084952011-02-10T23:38:30.622-06:002011-02-10T23:38:30.622-06:00Awesome post!

I immediately thought of all the times the same strategy has worked against me. <br /><br />The great part, which you point out so well, is that God is bigger than the boogie man. Getting our attention back on Him is the only way to win this game.<br /><br />I hope this means you'll be blogging more now. You may only have "a small few" readers, but this one, at least, has missed your posts.Lesliehttp://www.compost-blog.comnoreply@blogger.com
