Scripture for today

Luke 5:31-32 Jesus heard about it and spoke up, "Who needs a doctor: the healthy or the sick? I'm here inviting outsiders, not insiders—an invitation to a changed life, changed inside and out." (Msg) 

Why do we keep up with the pretence? I have come to realize that a lot of us as Christians pretend a lot. We come to Jesus like we don't need him, that we have all our areas of weaknesses fixed up. We come to church pretending like we are our own saviors so when others do wrong we condemn them the most. The attitude of us hiding our weaknesses or pretending that we do not need anything from God closes the door for help to come our way. Why are we trying so hard to impress God when he knows you don't have any power of your own to do anything for our self. I dream of seeing a Church where even the ministers of the Gospel can openly confess their sins and weaknesses. I remember struggling with a whole lot of things because I felt I should be quiet about it. In the house of God we need to help each other stand firm. We need to be accountable to each other. That is the church Jesus died for.

Friends, we all have our weaknesses and our inabilities. We have those times when it seems like you are the only one with problems or weaknesses, some people have been able to overcome the very same thing you are struggling with. While others couldn't overcome. Bottom line of everything am saying is that you shouldn't run away from God simply because you have failed him. Don't have that attitude of feeling God hates you for all the things you do wrong. Jesus came to the earth specifically because he knows you just can't help yourself do right. 1 Corinthians 12:9 talked about Apostle Paul's own struggle with weaknesses. He said he prayed about it and God told him he is made strong even in his weakness.  Friends, whatever you are going through, or passing through take it up to God in prayers. You can't help yourself so rely totally on him. 

Prayer: Father, I commit my weakness into your hands and I ask that you give me strength in that area.
