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 to fake a fidelity to God. Our handicaps push us to the limit of our ability to where either we are fully committed to God or we stop short at some point comfortable to us.
I think God, however, wants our total fidelity, and that is difficult to give, especially when we do not have anything other than Faith in God’s word to encourage us. 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, we all should know that God is true to his word.
Big challenge for me!
