| | if i try to keep going about morality just so i won't feel guilty afterward or to appear as though i have things altogether, i will continue to fail.
if i put my trust in that Christ has power over all and God's kindness and love are greater than any fix of this world, then i have reason to hope.
//i believe living for my own futility is wrong, for it leaves me wanting and in despair, but how have i actually lived this out in my integrity? do i just give lip service, and offer sacrifice of firstfruits later as if it pleases God? [in this place] do i want to change
…has Christ in my life transformed me here? am i longing for God, His gospel, or myself; who am i living for; where is my heart's attention focused? do i believe God can change me, that He desires my love for Him? who's glory do i say i live for versus which glory am i actually practicing the pursuit of in my integrity? how has Christ's sacrifice led me out of this darkness?
[::where do i hold idolatry?::]
[::where is my pride?::]
[::where are my hands closed?::]
(+)O God, it is you who satisfy; it is you who fills this chasm in my soul. it is you who i am pursuing with my heart. Jesus, more of you is what i am yearning after. to waste this life for you is a life well spent.

But all who are hunting for you and require you--oh, let them sing and be happy. Let those who know what you're all about tell the world you're great and not quitting. And me? I'm a mess. I'm nothing and have nothing: make something of me. You can do it; you've got what it takes--but God, don't put it off.
