His grace is sufficient

There is so much of me that strives to be close to God, but at the same time there is so much that pulls away from Him, even fights Him. Tension is always there. And it makes me afraid to learn more about God and what He wants for my life because I know that I’ll find out that I’m still so far away from what He wants me to be. I’ve got to learn to take this journey one day at a time and lean on God to help me grow in Him rather than becoming overwhelmed when I see how far away from Him I still am. His promise is that His grace is enough to cover my inadequacies and that when I draw near to Him, He will in turn draw near to me. He truly is my Savior, my Rock, and my Redeemer.

“From the cowardice that dare not face new truth,
From the laziness that is contented with half truth,
From the arrogance that thinks it knows all truth,
Good Lord, deliver me.”
