I have been operating under the assumption that as a Christian, some areas of my life should... you know... just work out. Like a perk of the faith something. But no. EVERY area of my life needs His grace. I expected trials and struggles in certain areas of my life and was blindsided to find them in another. I felt (feel) like I had failed in some way. Ah, but this fallen world. Grace upon grace upon grace.E. A.

Effort... well, it can be a good thing, but so often it leads to the very exhausting cycle that we have been freed from! We are saved for good works... but such a mentality can easily be warped by whatever power or principality crosses our path. In such moments, i am trying to learn what it means to not become weary in doing good. Not all that easy though. Thanks for the authentic look at effort and faith and may God guide you as you discern and learn to embrace grace!Kurt Willemshttp://groansfromwithin.comnoreply@blogger.com
