Jesus Points the Way
Borrowing from Jesus

Are you struggling to be transformed? Have you ever bargained with God? Knowingly and unknowingly I have. Sometimes I can't decide what I need or why I need it. Sometimes I do know but have no power to accomplish it. God has never asked me to do anything in my own strength. I must borrow what I need from God to do what He asks me to do. He is always ready to empower me with humility and grace. Take your struggles to God. Let Him win. You'll be surprised at the peace that follows.
