Its not our works and deeds that condemn us, sin goes deeper than that....it is
our fallen nature, the mystery of iniquity is at work within us...that old man refuses to lie down for very long and he often raises his ugly head, pulling us away from the holy path. The old man has a invisible friend that wanders in this world, he has a loud voice and he likes to present to pilgrims temptations that pull at the lust of the eyes, or the flesh, ah the pride of life in this present dark world. How can darkness seem so attractive and so strong? We have learned as pilgrims that following the invisible one leads to guilt and shame, but he is so persistent, and he covers his ugly visage with light that tempts and deceives us over and over again.
So what shall we do Pilgrims? Keep moving towards the everlasting city, tread again on the path of holiness. Do not be weary of well doing. Don't give up the fight. The one who has called us away has a love for us that endures forever, he has mercies that are renewed for us every morning. He bares our scars on His body! He also has an invisible friend in this world who desires to teach and comfort all pilgrims on the journey, but He speaks in a whisper so you must shut out the loud clamorous world to hear His instruction and feel His peace.
DON'T QUIT FELLOW PILGRIMS!
Godspeed Jimmyg
