Many times as Christians we have the tendency to get caught up in our own little circular parade of self-righteousness and complacency and we tend to get thrown into a harsh world of sinfulness. We start "playing church" and living like Pharisees, pious and pridefully (Luke 18:9-14) advanced in what we see as knowledge of the Word, but in reality, we end up being more of a hindrance to the people around us that we have the chance to influence for the sake of Christ. The only problem is that we all eventually realize this particular flaw, but we don't know how to go about letting God take control of the circumstances and we find ourselves lost...lost in the very maze we dug for ourselves in the first place. But, I have found that in my own life, every time I've come to this place of desperation and hopelessness, I look to the loving arms of Christ to "love me once again", and He lets me "rest in His arms"....in the arms of King robed in majesty and splendor (Psalm 104:1), and most of all, love and grace. He will always be there with loving arms to wrap around you, regardles of what you've happened to come up against. (Luke 15:20-24)
