I Know. I KNOW!


“For the good that I wish, I do not do; but I practice the very evil that I do not wish.” Romans 7:19

“’Therefore, however you want people to treat you, so treat them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.’” Matthew 7:12

“And He said, ‘Are you still lacking in understanding also? – For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders. These are the things which defile the man;’” Matthew 15:17a, 19-20

“Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behaviour his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom. But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth. This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, natural, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist there is disorder and every evil thing.” James 3:13-16

When we admit and confess recognised sin within our hearts, we simply agree we see the Truth. The truth is our heart attitude toward His leadership in our lives is what matters most, not so much what we do or do not do. In knowing this we recognise our moment-by-moment dependence on His mercy and justice. For without it, we only know we are wrong.

Know His Word. Take care. Your servant & friend in Christ, Darlene

Ongoing Requests: Australians and support workers still dealing with aftermath of natural disasters (fire and floods). God’s hand on USA.
