Every time I feel like I'm "being a good Christian," I always get knocked down to the ground again. Every time I stand back up on to my own two feet, I find myself on my knees right where I started. This is God humbling me, and I should be so grateful. But sometimes I get frustrated, and my humanly sins take over me. But through my disappointment and frustration, God shows me His Word:
Romans 5:3-5
"3Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. "
When we suffer, we build up perseverance and character. Perseverance and character builds hope. I haven't been the best Christian nor the best leader I can be for God. All this time I've been doing the bare minimum for the glory of God. I need to pray more..
