You've done an excellent job of focusing our understanding of it; and who among us hasn't tried the band-aid remedy in lieu of the real deal?!<br /><br />I know, for me, when the Lord gets ahold of something He wants GONE, I'm so convicted that I don't have a moment's peace until I surrender & obey. <br /><br />God's best to you & yours,<br />KathleenKathleen https://www.blogger.com/profile/05245926913888212148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569182682068612485.post-26196705390264882952010-04-13T13:49:11.031-07:002010-04-13T13:49:11.031-07:00Although it is painful, I'd rather have the Al...Although it is painful, I'd rather have the Almighty Surgeon do His perfect work in me. After all, He knows what's best and right for me. It's easy to rationalize sin but before a holy God, there's no rationalizing.

He doesn't use anesthetics, and it often hurts painfully.<br />I have found myself praying, " Help me God, but gently, please."<br />In a hymn we sing about being ripened for heaven day by day.<br />I think maybe, that it is what God's loving surgery is all about.Felisol https://www.blogger.com/profile/12240191154632603841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569182682068612485.post-9833240276665623462010-04-11T21:18:17.873-07:002010-04-11T21:18:17.873-07:00Thank the Lord, He is able to change, heal and for...Thank the Lord, He is able to change, heal and forgive our sins.
