The fact that Christians should have a close relationship with Christ Jesus, is something that's been on my heart and mind lately. One that is deep, rich, and overflowing. One that is practically so bountiful that it feels like Heaven on earth. But the more I observe myself, I wonder if this is something that can actually be grasped, and ever accomplished.
For a long while I have longed for a better relationship with Christ. And at times, it has seemed to be actually reachable! But it seems like I can never hold on to it tight enough. I mean, I know the Christian life isn't always happy and exciting....but I really wish it could be! I wish I always felt in love with Christ. I am a sinful human being, and the times when I truly realize and see this, I spiral down into despair. I feel like there isn't hope because I can never stay one way....I'm not always in love with Jesus. Why do I have to be so weak? I don't understand why God has designed me to be so very difficult. When Jesus saved me, I became a new creature... a saint. But why are there still days when I feel like a sinner?

i feel that way a lot to Holly. its simply our nature to be sinful, but thankfully God is always there, to love us and draw us closer to Him.
Here's 40 of the world's greatest words you can put together:
Romans 5:20 "Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Isn't that awesome!

Good thing our salvation doesn't depend on us!
