(unfortunately we [I]somtimes compare self with the wrong people - the world instead of Christ)<BR/><BR/>Would we be bold enough to ask, "What more can i do?" <BR/><BR/>Furthermore, If we did, what would the Teacher say to us?<BR/>What's your weakness? Because I imagine that's what he'd point out that needs fixing. Are we ready to fix those things? That sinful habit your addicted to - would you quit?<BR/><BR/>Gluttony, self righteousness, gossip, slander, complacency, material wealth (yes, even in economic hard times we are more blessed than 95% of the world) lust of the flesh, pride, not doing what we know we should, habits that harm the body, selfishness, ... <BR/><BR/>What in your life do you harbor that if Jesus pointed out, you would go away sorrowful?<BR/><BR/>My hope is that the young man did figure it out.<BR/><BR/>Grace - absolutely.<BR/><BR/>But also the fact that he can do better, try harder, follow closer - the example of Christ.<BR/><BR/>That's my hope for myself, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
