What we need more of is Jesus. Purely, passionately, fully seeking after Him is what keeps us in righteousness, there is nothing we can do to be the Father's righteous, holy children outside of Jesus, what He did for us, and what He does in our lives daily. So that is my prayer for all of us right now, "More Jesus, please!"
I'm excited to see God move deeper in my life. The only thing I can do is make more room for Him, empty myself of anything else that is taking my heart captive. Sin is not who we are, it is not a sickness, it is a choice, and I want to choose relationship with my Savior!
If our decision to not act on temptation is purely because of fear, consequences, or other people then we might as well have acted on it, because we have already done it in our hearts, we have already planned it in our minds and have seen what the end result would be. God is worthy and He is personal. He is our reason for life and how we live our lives...if our heart is not transformed enough to not dwell on temptation then we have already committed the sin by letting it form inside of us. God is not only interested in our actions but the condition of our soul. We are constantly growing in increasing amounts of light (if we choose so) and God desires to see us succeed! We are blessed to serve such a personal and loving God. <3
