Five Minute Friday - Willing

Go


I willing to do so many things. I want to do so many things. But then I look at my life and in practice how much do I do? Honestly, not as much as I would like.
It brings to mind the scripture, the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. And oh boy is my flesh weak!
I planned to observe Lent during this season. I am not Catholic but felt the desire to set aside a time of determined focus on the Lord. Already I have failed. My willingness to participate has not resulted in any actual movement.
I frustrate myself. At my lack of ability to follow through on so many things. But I am grateful for new days and endless mercy to begin again. Today is a new day. Today, with God's help I will turn my willingness into action.


Stop
