Untangling the Night James Bars

"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are-yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." Hebrews 4:15-16 NIV
Will you always be drawn to the darkness? Most likely! As long as you are a human being-your default position will be rebellion. How can you use this phenomena? Is it possible that temptation can be utilized as a tool to lift you higher into God's light? Yes! You can use temptation to trigger God's light! Will you fail at times? Yes. Is failure always negative? No! Failure is quite possibly one of the greatest learning tools you have continual access to. When you stop breathing-you will stop failing. Has God left you without aid in the realm of overcoming the dark side? No! He has given you everything you need.
This book provides God-breathed insights into meeting the challenges of personal growth amidst the benefits of your life's struggles."No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it." 1 Corinthians 10:13 NIV
