Failure Is Part of the Journey
In the sanctification stage of my quest for eternity, I have failed. Sanctification is a function of the Holy Spirit, but that does not leave me void of obligation. I have an obligation to not willingly be distracted by sin. I am to cast down vain imaginations, resist temptations, and run to the Holy Spirit with all issues, short comings, and pitfalls designed to derail my progress.
