Imagine if we let go of things that divide us. Our hearts would fill with joy and love for each other instead of the terrible contentions and divisions that quench the spirit. What an inspiration and example we would be for this lost world. We would truly glorify God this way and we would all be happy. But instead we must argue over man's theology and politics. There is a better way if you ask me. It's simplicity in Christ. It takes faith because you must trust God to teach you and lead you.

But are his commands really that hard to understand? No. It just takes time for us to repent sometimes. We try to justify our sin or manage it the best we can but there is victory in Christ and not this temporary defeat.

I'm one such success story. I was lost and bound to sin. I lost all hope in everything but God. I had no hope in myself or anyone. I ended up with depression induced psychosis because of my sin and how people treated me. I went through a few months of psychosis with no medicine and I thought I was a prophet because I thought my psychosis hallucinations were visions.

But after I got on meds I found out that I was free from lust. God gave me a new heart. One that had strength and resolve to resist temptation. I prayed earnestly for that. I felt alone and i needed to know that I had hope and that Jesus didn't forsake me. God answered my prayers.
