Falling Down

Life is full of disappointment and setbacks.  Attempting to live a Christian life is even more challenging (especially being single).  We know what God expects of us, but, it is not always easy to obey him.  I find comfort in the remorse that I feel when I know that I have done wrong.  It tells me that the Holy Spirit still dwells within me.  It lets me know that my heart is still in the right place.  It is inevitable that we will all, at some time or another, stumble.  Instead of being engulfed with self-pity, I choose to pick my self up, repent and pray for strength and continued spiritual growth.  It is also good to know that God is a FORGIVING God.
