Wow. After reading this chapter I came away with many thoughts of under performance. It's funny, the more I expose myself to Scripture the more I have to look at myself with a magnifying glass. The Bible motivates me to want not only a better understanding of its words but how they play apart in my life. Years ago I turned my life and will over to the care of God to
save me from myself. I was powerless over people, places and situations. My actions only brought suffering to me and those important in my life. I had to give up control or face the consequences. Once I finally gave it to God my addiction was lifted. It had nothing to do with me.
The grace of God saved me from my destructive self. In the years since I have gotten lazy in my faith, taking for granted that God does for me what I have no power to do. I pray to use the gifts freely given to me and strive for what Jesus brought to us by his example.
