 Christ taught that genuine self-denial involves completely surrendering oneself through submission for the benefit of others. Our perception of God must be expansive; if we see Him as miserly or withholding, we will never be willing to give Him all. Instead, we must recognize that God surpasses our limited understanding—He exists beyond our expectations and comprehension, always working in ways that transcend our grasp. We cannot simply impose our will on His actions or dictate how He should act. Our hesitation to carry each other's burdens reveals our fragile human nature, much like children wrestling with their own struggles. When we cling to an inflated view of ourselves, it often results from misapplying fundamental spiritual truths. Too often, our focus becomes narrowly centered on our own needs and desires. The key question is whether we will approach God as helpless children, pleading and submitting, or whether we will learn to apply these foundational principles—humility, surrender, faith—to transform our sins and weaknesses into opportunities for growth and maturity. God expects us to mature into responsible, capable individuals who can handle the responsibilities He entrusts to us. In moments when my spirit feels weak, I find comfort in knowing that God understands my path; He sees the obstacles placed in my way by adversaries and challenges. Our limited perspective—comparable to viewing only a small corner of a vast garden—restricts our ability to see beyond our immediate surroundings. We often become fixated on the decadence or difficulties around us, making it hard to rise above those boundaries. Rather than punishing us solely for our transgressions, God genuinely cares about our struggles and recognizes the uphill battles we face against organized resistance. His compassion is rooted in His desire to see us succeed, not simply in His need to discipline. The truth is, if we could fully access our God-given abilities, we would find the strength to remain steadfast in adversity. Grace has transformed the way we experience hardship; the more our sins and moral failings grow, the more inclined the Father is to extend His mercy and grace—enabling us to achieve miraculous victories—even when our spirits waver. Would you like me to expand further or adapt this to a specific tone? When Christ returns, He will restore true authority—reaffirming divine laws, covenants, curses, decrees, statutes, and promises—restoring man’s power to triumph over opposition. Our ongoing victory over creation reflects our conscious acknowledgment of ongoing spiritual battles—what we express through honest complaints and confident declarations about both internal struggles and external adversities. In our moments of hardship, we often act as if God is unaware of or indifferent to our circumstances, but such honesty actually deepens our connection to divine truth and authority, allowing us to stand firm in faith.

Ps 142 1 I cry aloud to the Lord;I lift up my voice to the Lord for mercy.2 I pour out my complaint before him;before him I tell my trouble." God established the private garden for man.He was completely free of organized opposition. He was not subject to the operational limits of time and space. God carefully designed man for eternal purposes. But the eternal curse brought continuous opposition. Hence, when Christ return the legitimate authority in eternal pronouncements of law, covenants, curses, decrees, statutes and promises, gave man authority to overcome all opposition. We sufficiently demonstrate eternal ability dominating the creation by carefully describing our eternal struggle in legitimate complaints and pronouncing control over inward and outward opposition. When we struggle, tell God as if He does not know.
