Morning Will Come...are you sure?

If the idea that morning will come makes you nervous...well you're not trusting in the Lord.  He knows we struggle, He walked this earth like we do.  He suffered like we do (even greater than us) so He knows what we are going through.  Our redeemer is there to make us new again.  He will provide the grace we need exactly when we need it.  He's that good and he's that good to us.  That's why he doesn't need the extra O (good, minus one o =)  God!  :) It's why He's called God and not just good!  hee hee

We cannot overcome sin alone.  It's true.  We have to stand strong and withstand temptation...yes it's easy to write that...it's easy to say, but when those things that tempt us look so good or make us "feel good" it's more than difficult to say no.  This is when we ask for assistance.  Trusting in our faith that the Lord hears our cries for help is so important.  When it comes to sin, it's a battle we are destined to fight.  We just have to ask ourselves if it's worth it and if it will bring about a new day?  Will it make tomorrow better?  Will I look back and say "wow I'm so glad that happened?"  Probably not.  Morning will come, but will welcome it with regret or will we welcome it with eyes on the prize of eternal life with Christ.  We shouldn't listen to the devil, duh.  He won't be there in the end to pick up the pieces,  he won't be there with open arms...that we know for sure.  We can't trust him.  He knows our weaknesses just as the Lord does, but unlike satan, our Lord is almighty and forgiving.  "Oh now I come to you, with open arms, nothing to hide, believe what I say.  So here I am, with open arms, hoping you'll see what you're love means to me, open arms."

Whatever it's Journey - I know.  but it's what I thought of when I said open arms.  Although the other verses aren't necessarily appropriate for this topic, the bridge or chorus or whatever it's called fit just fine.    He wants our love too!
