We now have an understanding of what God desires from us. We desire to know God more and grow in our understanding of Him. The Psalmist says that Grace is a hard truth to learn. Some of us give up just because we give into a particular sin. Some of us give up because we do not obey something we know we should be doing. Sometimes we fail in the most obvious areas. We are more interested in protecting ourselves than facing a problem. So we conclude that until we give God these areas we are not going to pursue Him.We think that because other people know we have such obvious failings in our lives that it would be hypocritical for us to claim Christ. Most of the time we think that Christ is holding these things against us. However, we need to understand that God deals with us as broken sinners. God is the most able to work to change the biggest psychological problems we have.He is most skilled at working with people who are resistant to change and those who are not in a position of power. I have learned that God is more concerned with our attitude and belief in Him before He works to change our lives to align with His will. We often have this backwards, thinking that God is going to change to the point where we are not going to be happy about it. We think that God has a very strict and demanding schedule.
