BEHIND THE RESTRAIN
O what lies beneath this wretched man I am? The grace of God that keeps me from acting upon the fierce intentions of my heart. The battle rages between the man that I am and the man that I am striving daily to become. This process of change is an endless pursuit that drains me of my motivation. Well kept and secure by the hand of God. May the day never come that I am unleashed, for in that day flesh shall have its victory. For how can that which has been shackled overcome that which has chosen to die to self? Ever so softly I take my stride to walk this path I must daily tread. Driven by an eternal destination that seeks to welcome me though undeserved.
O what lies beneath this wretched man I am? The grace of God that keeps me from being overtaken by a power that is desperately wicked. Keep me O God secure under your restrain. For without you I am nothing, and alone I cannot keep harnessed the lurkings of my heart. May I find you daily as I kneel before you that I may not stumble. May I often seek for your eternal treasures, so that I am not found wanting in my pursuits for temporal satisfaction.
AS I LOOK IN TO THE MIRROR TODAY, THERE IS MORE GOING ON BEYOND THE SURFACE THAN THE EXPRESSION WHICH BEAMS BEFORE YOU. GOD'S GRACE IS SUFFICIENT!

His grace is enough, what a good reminder, thanks for sharing. Was an interesting thought that we look to God not just for strength to get through our lives, but actually for restraint as well. We can't do anything without Him, but we can't even *not* do things without Him. How cool is He?
