The End Result

Coming unglued isn't all bad if it draws me to God, if it shows me what is really bothering me, if it leads me to walk closer to my Lord and to seek Him in a greater way! Like I've said before... this for me is an imperfect progress BUT it is a progress that will lead to Holiness if I allow it. I will come unglued in the future.. it may be tomorrow or in the next ten minutes but what will matter is what I do "after"... will I seek Him and allow Him to reveal to me my "reasons" for coming unglued and then make it right with Him and the one on the receiving end of my unglued moment. Being unglued can bring a much needed light into my thoughts, words, attitudes, and my actions if I really listen to what God is trying to say to me in my unglued moments. God convicts us of our wrongness, towards Him and others, IF we are willing to listen. He is truth, and He will lead us in truth. So how do I see His truth? By seeking Him daily, by getting to know Him through His word.
God's grace always allows for a second chance. I don't have to feel condemnation when I fail.

" Our Lord doesn't whisper hushed condemnations. Convictions, yes. Condemnations, no."

Do I condemn my girls when they don't do something perfectly the first few times they try?  Did I think they were never going to be able to walk?  No, they learned. They may have to learn over and over certain lessons, but they learned! That is how God is with us.  He isn't going to go check our record to see if He should help us, His love and faithfulness are everlasting, they will never fail. God treasures each one of us even though He doesn't approve of our/my actions.  Does this mean I can just do whatever I want and not worry about my behavior? NO! It means I can have the hope and faith to stay on the path, I can have the faith not to give up and quit. It means I can know that He will always be there for me no matter what I do or don't do. I can know that God is looking out for me, and He will use whatever comes against me meant for bad and work it out for my good, IF I seek Him (that's a PROMISE from Him)! I have to be determined to walk out His word during my daily life, let His truth rule in me and allow it to lead me in the right direction.
