Jealous young man follows young lady's attention. God jealously desires the entire devotion of the heart. When I divide loyalties - there is a battle between my desires and God's, but when I yield to God and tell Him to have His way, fighting subsides. Lord, it's Your battle, please take control. His Holy Spirit grieves when I become friends with the world.
Dogs pull in more than one direction.
I want easy solutions - God wants Character 2. I'll give abundant grace to those who are willing to humble themselves and wait. Trust Me and draw your strength from Me. God gives His help and support when I need it most. God gives grace to one who admits his need for grace.
