Like all followers of Jesus Christ I am a saint… although at times I feel infected… infected by sinful desires… lazy habits… worldy distractions. I don’t forget that I am counted righteous and holy in God’s eyes because of the work of Christ. But I struggle to follow Christ… to surrender all areas to Him… to not live for self. In these things I just cannot believe I walk alone…
Infected Saint 
well said….right there with you! we must continue to be encouragers to keep on keepin on 🙂
Paul struggled, and we can expect to struggle also. In our weaknesses we are made strong, in His power.
Nope! I’m on the struggle train right along with you too.. I know that my name was on several of those thorns in His crown. I’m just glad that the fine messes I make will be forgiven.
