"You are quite likely to believe that all this niceness is your own doing: and you may easily not feel the need for any better kind of goodness. Often people who have all these natural kinds of goodness cannot be brought to recognize their need for Christ at all until, one day, the natural goodness lets them down and their self satisfaction is shattered."
gottems.
remember this moment.
remember where you are right now, hanging off the edge of the bed because Lucy is napping in the middle of the mattress as she always does and you don't want to bother her.
remember this moment of conviction, strangling the guilt and shame you've tried to hide from God all this time
remember why you're here. because youve taken goodness and twisted it to feed your ego and fake humility
remember how you've always challenged God to a fight but now youre in the ring with Him and you can only blame yourself for this spiritual beat down you are about to receive
and remember that He has forgiven you, and also He loves you very dearly and you will come out of this a little better than before because He has refined you a little bit more.
but for now,
Lord hit me as hard as you can.
