Only Human (Devotionals, #49)

What a dilemma. We are Christians and strive to live by the standards set forth in the Bible. Yet, we are humans . . . created in a form that yields to temptation. We are not alone. God loves us. Jesus died for us. The Holy Spirit intercedes for us. Based on a personal experience and Romans 12:2: "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will."
