Thank you so very much for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ, and thank you for your encouragements!

IT IS HUMAN NATURE to excuse ourselves on such scores. It is the nature of the flesh. The flesh always exalts itself and excuses itself for being fleshy.

Indeed. The natural man seeks to justify his own opinions.

But wisdom is justified of all her children. - Luke 7:35

But the Spiritual man follows Christ.

I am the vine, ye [are] the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. – John 15:5

[There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. - Romans 8:1

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: - John 10:27

To God be the glory, not man, never man!

[Quix]

PRAISE GOD.

BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD.
BLESSED BE THE WORD OF THE LORD.
BLESSED BE THE WAYS OF THE LORD.

BLESSED BE THOSE WHO LOVE THE LORD.

Thanks for your kind words and your excellent Scriptures.

INDEED:

To God be the glory, not man, never man!
