Flesh

NOTE TO SELF:
Two natures beat within my breast.
One is foul, the other blest.
The one I love – the one I hate
The one I feed will dominate.
- Author Unknown


FLESH= EVERYTHING ABOUT ME MINUS GOD.
Results of working in the Flesh = Frustration, Fatigue, Failure


And I get it now... I really get it now... I am free.


A real Christian is an odd number anyway.
He feels supreme love
for One whom he has never seen,
talks familiarly every day to
Someone he cannot see,
expects to go to heaven
on the virtue of Another,
empties himself
in order to be full,
admits he is wrong
so he can be declared right,
goes down
in order to get up,
is strongest
when he is weakest,
richest
when he is poorest,
and happiest
when he feels worst.
He dies so he can live,
forsakes in order to have,
gives away so he can keep,
sees the invisible,
hears the inaudible,
and knows that which passes knowledge.”
- A.W. Tozer
