The thing it took me years to really get is that we were never called to perfection in our own strength. “Abide in me…for apart from me you can do nothing.” “And he said to me: My grace is sufficient for you. For My power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my weakness in order that the power of Christ may dwell upon me.” The whole “you will know the truth and the truth will make you free” bit…I think the biblical truth of our absolute need of dependence is the most freeing truth we get to live in. ❤
@@JessicaJoy34 ❤️ I think the key thing you said was "in our own strength." Discipleship is a coworking, a relationship, where both work together, so of course it "won't work" if I try to do it by myself & on my own strength... Just have to remember that when I'm out & about 😅
@ ♥️♥️♥️ Yes! Holy Spirit is amazing at revealing these things to our souls so His truth becomes our truth (internally I mean; obviously there is only one truth lol).
