You can overcome

-

Hebrews 4 vs 15; “For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathise with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.”

Have you ever found yourself in the exact same mess that you told yourself you would never be in again? Then with the passage of time you find yourself caught up in the same issue again; it may involve different characters or be in a different time zone, but it will be the same problem.

Sometimes we behave like pigs. Soon after they have been cleaned up they will go back to the mud, just for the sake of it.

We all make mistakes, if anything they are the hallmark of being human. However, like all good students, we are meant to graduate not regress.

Our fallibilit­y and sense of sin somehow prevents us from achieving perfection within our character yet the same character allows for you to excel in other discipline­s if you put your mind to it.

Athletes can move from being ordinary to being extraordin­ary, just from regular practice and dedication. Likewise, we have the ability to overcome our character and our circumstan­ces through God’s will and grace and the dutiful exercise of training our minds to allow for something greater than the ordinary.

Through regular training, desire and determinat­ion, coupled with His guidance as written in the holy book, you can overcome your character and never go back to that place you said you would never go back to.

Be blessed.
