Everyone is challenged by unruly desires of the flesh, bad example of others in this world, and temptation by the Devil, not to overlook the obstacle their own pride presents to them in surrendering to God. Under those circumstances, it would be impossible for me to fake fidelity to God. My handicaps push me to the limit of my ability to where either I am fully committed to God or I stop short at some point comfortable to me.
I think God, however, wants my total fidelity, and that is difficult to give, especially when I do not have anything other than Faith in God’s word to encourage me. Isn’t it possible that this is why few are chosen? Few trust God strongly enough to surrender everything to approach God. And yet, when everything is said and done, I should know that God is true to his word.
Big challenge for me!
