He Himself

"Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage" (Hebrews 2:14, 15 NKJV). I am broken, and all I can do is look up. I cannot get in any deeper than I already am. My strength is gone. My hopes are gone, and all that surrounds me is lifeless. I have tried everything in this world to bring joy to my heart and comfort to my soul, but nothing seems to work. I'm at the point of giving up, and all that surrounds me is sin and death. Where do I go now? This is the place where many people truly have to get in order for them to realize that they are powerless to overcome sin. This is the place where we have tried everything possible man has ever thought of or made, and nothing ever works. This is the place that I was at. I could not overcome sin in my own strength. I could not overcome darkness in my own wisdom. I got to the place where I knew I was in bondage and there was no way out. We can try everything to keep our head above the water, life boats, made by man's wisdom, books, written by man's heart, but it is only when we cry out to God that He is able to save us. Today, years later, the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ keep me from falling back into that lie and deception. They keep me from falling into the great mirage that the world puts in front of me. They have picked me up and put me upon the Rock. What I was powerless to do and could not overcome, our Lord Jesus Christ was able to do. He set me free, and I am in debt to Him. Are you still struggling with sin? Cry out if you want out. God bless you. Amen
