Only Human

what does that even mean? too often we use that as an excuse for our incompetencies. i did that just recently with a project for english. i used the excuse that because i'm more introverted i couldn't think to ask anybody to be my partner for a project. so now i'm doing that project by myself...not too sure how it's gonna turn out yet....i used that as an excuse but God showed me that it was pride and selfishness with introvertedness as a cover up for the crime. God worked that out in me, but i'm more at peace with that project and God can use my mistakes and i can definitely learn from it. but ya. so since we are only human does that mean we can use that as an excuse for sin? heck no. if it did there would be no or very little purpose for such Scripture as Phillipians 4:13 "I can do everything through him who gives me strength." such Scriptures as those have just spoken out to me that it's not by my own strength that i do well anything in life. i mean who am i to think that i can everything by myself anyway. i say that God can do anything cuz he's God after all but if i say that i'm scared to ask someone if they want to partner up with me, that's pretty much contradicting Scripture and who i say God is. it's something i'm working on in my life and God has been using every day stuff to show me what's really been going on in my heart. i encourage you all to really seek God out and allow him to search you out. trust me it's scary and not all too pretty, but i believe we will all be better people and closer to becoming more Christlike once we allow God to clear out our hearts of this crazy, stupid, ugly worldly stuff.

luv y'all
