Everyday my sinful nature asserts its superiority by struggling to be independent from God's rule. It entices to once more meet our flesh's cravings and pleasures more than our spirit's. But just as yesterday, today I have to once more put on the armor and battle this unholy desire back to the coffin where it belongs. Such is our total contradiction to the world. The world salutes independence, we strive to kill it. The world looks down on dependence as weak and frail, our weakness makes perfect His power. We strive to devotedly be dependent to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Dependence is a virtue not often pursued but with Christ a daily commitment to renew ourselves of such virtue.
