If Only...To Overcome

Lately I have felt even more keenly aware of my own weaknesses…
I’ve had no shortage of ‘friends’ more than willing to point them out to me…and I’ve even encountered some who don’t seem to think I’m all too worthwhile as a friend due to those weaknesses…

The funny thing about recognizing a weakness in yourself is that the recognition of it doesn’t necessarily help in overcoming it…at least not in my world!
The other funny thing about recognizing a weakness in yourself is that it becomes soo much easier to notice that same weakness in others…and it’s a WHOLE lot easier to expect ‘that other guy’ to overcome the weakness than it is to actually even BEGIN to overcome it yourself!!!

So I continue to pray and fall and pray and fall and pray again with every intention of eventually winning those daily battles…and I thank my Savior that his precious blood covers me with his perfection and soo look forward to the day when I will be made COMPLETELY perfect in Him with Him in Heaven! And, I can only hope that my church family will be forgiving and patient as I battle and grow and strive to overcome in the meantime…cause we are all accountable and imperfect.
