Self-Righteous

Someone said I was self-righteous tonight. Self-righteous? Me? Never? I think they are right.

I felt so confused today, as I came to tears over sin. I know who is the author of confusion.

I went to the word, for John MacArthur said it not only contains the way to reveal our sin but there he finds also the healing for it.

Why do I feel so far from the truth today?

Help me in my unbelief Father!

Dear Jennifer,

May God bless you with peace in His sufficiency and joy in the completeness of His love and provision for us. Thank you for sharing that! I tend toward slowness in doing the right thing, and then toward pride and feeling superior when I have done it quickly and cheerfully. The Lord is growing us both, and may He teach us to lean only on Him for our strength, and to realize that without Him we truly are nothing. May He give us His mind and His motives; I need that so much! I'll pray for you, Jennifer, and please pray for me, too. Love you!

In His service,
Emily

I will! Thank you for your always encouraging words Emily! I am encouraged to know that He is working in us both through very different circumstances. It reminds me that He is in control and that my circumstances are divinely ordained for my growth into Christ-likeness! Praise be to our gracious and ever patient God!
