Forget

Today in my devotion, I remember something I used to do, still do, and am frustrated with because I am still trying to not do. Forgetting God's grace.
Galatians 3
This passage was talking a lot about remembering what God has done for us, the sufferings we have gone through together, and that giving up should not be considered an option that is available. As I read on, I can feel as though Paul is scolding me for being too "fleshy". Too focused on things that are not of God, no delight to him, though being permitted to me. One might think that this is too much to ask, however, I will argue that nothing is too much when it comes to trying to put all focus back to God. All things that does not lead to God will point to sin, it is only a matter of sooner or later. Whether you realise it or not makes no difference. Sin afterall, is still sin. And indeed the most fustrating disposition can be that the very thing you enjoyed doing most, is actually sin, and now you struggle with trying to be rid of it for it has not just taken out so much time, but also have been part of the way of conduct in the daily life.
God on the other hand expects us to not just raise out of our dependency of the flesh, but raise into receiving his abundance of grace. Strange how we endlessly try to earn trust when it is given freely, and by not receiving it freely but forcefully earning it, we ended up being accounted as foolish people. But that is apparently the reality as by our own means, we can never really earn anything.
Talking about wanting. Have you realised how deceitful your heart can get? How good it is at corruption? I have still yet to realise its full potential, but I have seen a fair bit of mine already.
