Our speaker for the week is captivating, He is speaking on the humanity of Christ and what the truth of his humanity means. The biggest take away for myself has been the importance of being needy, and my struggle and sin of Idolatry.
To explain:
I struggle with not being needy, but needy in the form of knowing my needs and seeking proper help with them in order to mature. I tend to recognize my needs well but do a horrible job of asking for help in order to mature.
The sin of Idolatry in my life is of my flesh, or body. I am consumed with the way I look and so much so that it has mastered me. It has been the deciding factor in my jobs, eating habits, trips, basically all areas of my life and in a detrimental way. I put so much worth into having the well sculpted body, or as some of my friends would sat "rip out of my mind" that my very relationships, choices, and attitude were affected by achieving this goal. It is really sad to look back at how easy I could give up food and excersise myself to near passing out in order to accomplish this goal, and when trying to fast or be disciplined in my life in obediance to God, I would be the worst fighter in the ring, I cannot even last one round.
My Hopes:
That this brings hope that not all is lost for the individuals with struggles and sins as these and for the other Brothers and Sisters in Christ, that you would pray for my healing and deliverance.
