Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold
on eternal life, whereunto thou art
also called, and hast professes a good
profession before many witnesses.
1 Timothy 6:12
My life, just like the times and seasons, belongs to the Lord. And as I take personal inventory of myself, I see many areas which need improvement...

1 Timothy 6:12
My life, just like the times and seasons, belongs to the Lord. And as I take personal inventory of myself, I see many areas which need improvement...
I need to be much more spiritually developed in all areas of my life so that God could use me to the fullest, if and when He chooses to.
Furthermore, my formerly heavy heart is now almost completely healed. The troubles and sadness of summer, after many media outlets rehashed my criminal past during the thirtieth anniversary of my arrest, has ended. So it's time to move forward by giving God more of my life, and this without reservation.
I do confess, however, that in recent months my prayers have been weak and feeble. I have found it difficult to pray fervently and consistently. Yet the Lord has assured my heart and mind that He has remained faithful. God has sustained me. Through Christ, I have been and always will be, in victory. Therefore, I must continue to stand in faith, never even entertaining any thoughts of quitting, although at times such diabolical thoughts have indeed crossed my mind.
Thus, as I enter a new season, I plan to prepare myself for greater works of service and deeper levels of intimacy with my Savior. And it is only by the grace of God, and not my own strength or resources, that I can press onward faithfully fighting the "good fight of faith."
