"For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises up again; But the wicked are overthrown by calamity." [Proverbs 24:16]
Several days, several nights
Several missteps leading to fights
How to aim
How to strike
How to counter
How to block
The tools are given
Not meant to be hidden
The path seems clear
No danger is near
And yet...we fall
We have fallen
We. Have. Fallen.
Into falseness
Into misdirection
Into toxic fear of imperfection
So, just stop.
Stop.
Look at yourself, and just stop.
Be sorry for your actions.
Hate the sin you deal with.
But, to never sin again?
It is not an overnight trend.
We will stumble many times.
It is the Lord, of Whom, we must turn and repent to.
Through His Beloved Son, we are saved.
We are forgiven.
Keep going.
Keep trying.
Keep believing.
Keep crying.
Cry out to Him.
Shout out to Him.
Learn and grow because of Him.
Sin is a struggle.
One that doesn't have to double.
