We all struggle to make God the number one priority in our lives. Everything about what God asks us to do is contrary to our human nature. We often only make God a section of our lives, instead of everything else a section of our life in Him. I find that shame is always there to welcome me when I have neglected God in any way. I often hide in shame instead of standing in the light. Why then are we called to try at anything if we will always just convert back to our human nature? It is because in our weakness He is made strong. Our weakness combined with our overwhelming desire and continuous efforts for Him make our God glorified. Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven, and that is the end of that. If there was a point where we could live perfect lives then we wouldn't need the gift of Jesus' continuous cleansing blood in our lives. The point of needing a savior is that we cannot save ourselves. If we begin to grasp the weight of Christ has done I believe He will become our identity instead of just a part of it. It is then in this place where victory over certain battles are met, and God teaches you the things that He wants you to know. Let us learn to not use his grace cheaply, but strive to be successful in what he has done for us simply because we love Him. We couldn't earn it if we tried. Just a few thoughts. With love for all.
-Joshua
