Seek God's Help


All of us have personality flaws and character weaknesses. We see tendencies in ourselves such as selfishness, irritability, impatience, and vindictiveness. Yet if our defects cause us to rely more heavily on the Lord, we can see them as blessings in disguise. As we acknowledge our weakness and seek God's help, we experience His grace and strength.

This link between imperfection and improvement is all around us in nature. Take for instance, the formation of crystals, which make up valuable minerals and precious stones. Each kind of mineral and gem has its own special shape and appearance. In addition, every one of them is made up of a great number of atoms that are stacked in perfect alignment. Occasionally, though, one of these basic particles get out of line. Surprisingly, these "flaws" or imperfections give gems their most beautiful properties.

How do you respond to your faults and shortcomings??? Don't let them get you down. Instead, be honest about them and commit them to the Lord.

The Psalmist said, "The Lord will perfect that which concerns me." Trust Him to turn your inner flaws into beautiful character!!!

The Lord will perfect that which concerns me.
PSALMS 138:8

Through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, I have come and found this site, Talk Jesus. Thorugh this spiritual asylum , I have learned to respond to depression and distress brought by this world and gradually the glory of the Lord is back. Hallelujah!

Psalms 42:5

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.

Thanks so much for sharing this... because I've been going through all that and I get a bit sad as to why I act this way but as you said, we need to commit them to the LORD and He will perfect what concerns me.

Depression hits us all, some just don't know it. When we turn things over to God HIS Perfect plan come through.
