I threw my oars b'cus my boat was dirty

Ridiculous right! Who would such a thing? Well, I did! I stayed there in the raging waters, because my life was not right with God. I stayed in my sin and continued to sin. Till this very day, I shut down myself when I am to much in sin and feel wretched about myself. Even more wretched is the fact that I go back to God when I need some personal favor or when I feel my boat stinks and I can't stay in it anymore. This used to be my routine.

Then one day when it hit me that I don't live for myself or to approve myself in my own eyes. I live for the glory of God. If there are habitual sin in my life, give it to God and God will deal with it. There are so many other things in my life which God can glorify Himself. My sins are not all that I have - I have a great job, good amount of time, lots of resources, good friends, loving family and love for God. Come on, one can do some many things without shutting down.

Lord, when I feel wretch about myself let me not throw away the Joy of Salvation (Oars). Let me be confident in a God who is still not finished with me and is molding continuously in His image. For I know You have not given up on me. Why should I ever give up on God and on myself? Thank You, for this word of knowledge. Amen!
