Temptations and Sins Are Our Enemies

3/8/1998

As I was facing my own “stuff” today, this was a thought I had and wanted to pass it along to y’all. Do you know (REALLY KNOW) that it is absolutely necessary that you see the temptations and sins that plague you as your ENEMIES?? They are not “just the way I am” or part of the “you” that has been reborn. They are ENEMIES and MUST be seen as such if you plan on actually being RID OF THEM forever (instead of coexisting with them). When you see them as enemies of yourself and of Jesus, then you can CRY OUT to Him for His rescue and aid. You can’t take care of those enemies. NO WAY. But Jesus... He is ABLE!!! Something wonderful that we can praise Him for, don’t you think?? Love, Mary 8:23 p.m.
