I Wanna Be RIGHT!
Sometimes life can feel like a futile effort that just leaves us teasing and toying with failure…all the time! We fail in relationships by hurting and withdrawing while at the same time disrespecting and being irresponsible. We fail at achieving by not putting in the effort that we should and misrepresenting our vision. We fail in our understanding by offsetting truth with delusion and replacing reality with unfounded imagination. We fail at love by serving self more than others and living in yesterday more than today. We fail at living by fearing death, avoiding change, shunning truth and loving darkness. Failure plagues our lives and the first thought that we have is WHY? Why do I fail at every turn? Why is it that I end up wrong even when I start off right? We claim that we don’t know but we do. We are the problem.
The problem is within us. We are not RIGHT!
The bible teaches us that we are not righteous, and our lives should prove that to us! In and of ourselves we cannot be right or righteous. It is not possible. However, I thank my God that I have another way. Jesus is the way that I may be right with God and therefore RIGHTEOUS! Through Christ I am RIGHTEOUS!
