Amen!  Bro. Wright preached a great message last Thursday about that
subject.  He preached that we are all lost.  We are still in need of a
savior.  We are "saved" only as we rest in His arms.  If we take
ourselves out of Him we are not saved, we are without God.  It was a
terrific message.  This takes all the pressure out of living with God.
It is always God's spirit that works in my life.  I will never be so
spiritual that I can do anything without Him.

It's so easy to forget that lesson when circumstances are going right.
Soon a trial comes that shows me my humanity.  If I have forgotten
that I really am human I become devastated that I am who I am.  If I
have remembered that it is God who works through me both to will and
to do of His good pleasure I have no problem in coming face-to-face
with my humanity.  I only want to walk with Him!

Praise God,
