Find your strength in Christ

CYHCYL
p 70

"Too often in shame and guilt, we run from God rather than to Him. Perhaps we think he is finally disgusted with us. But he isn't. When you turn from your flesh and pursue Him, He is waiting with open arms to give you mercy and grace in your time of need. He doesn't condemn and reject you. He embraces you. That is one reason why this forty day journey is so important. You need to run to Christ every day to find your strength. Make it your new healthy habit. Approach Him in reverence and love...but also with confidence. He wants you to overcome. He is your 'overcomer.' As it says in James 4:10 "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up.'
