Dear Tracy,

I so totally know how you feel.  It reminds me so much of the Apostle Paul’s struggle in Romans 7:19, where he states:  “For the good that I wish, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not wish.”   But the good news comes in Roman 7:24,25: “Wretched man that I am!  Who will set me free from the body of this death?  Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!”  That is the key!  Jesus will set us free of sin and bondage!

Tracy, I struggle with sin like you do, and scared that the rapture will come and I won’t be ready.   But the truth is, God sees you heart (and mine) and sees that we’re sincere and love Him with all our hearts.  Cling onto the Lord Jesus Christ and never, never give up.  He never gives up on one of His children that sincerely wants to serve him in spite of our weaknesses.  It’s the power of the Lord Jesus Christ that delivers us from sin.  Grab onto Jesus and not let go. 

I know that I’m going to see you in the clouds, sister!  It won’t be long now!

 

Love in Jesus, 

Eileen
