You told me I am a receiver not a grabber of grace. I cannot grab the apple (first sin) because I decide it is good. Especially when I was told not to. I am to pray and ask what to do and wait for you to tell me when and how. You want to direct my life.
Religious especially create disciplines that keep them ensconced in their ego thinking they are doing the right thing. But are we listening? The Pharisees were obedient but far from his heart. My heart must break for what breaks his and his heart breaks for sinners. We know not what we do.
Sinners (all men) need to see they are sick in mind following harmful destructive thoughts and actions.
Ego is the core problem of all things-we think we know best. We think we know Who, What, When, Where, Why. We see darkly and our understanding is jaded by my own experiences. I actually cannot understand at all.
Only God sees it all. I must let him be God and leave all to His judgement who is absolutely just. He wants forgiveness and reconciliation. Mercy triumphs over judgment. Jesus paid for all the sins of the world.

You God, know all and have the best plan. You are guiding the world towards you. We are all broken by our trauma and the world, flesh, & devil. We can listen or reject your directions and helps of grace. You have made a way. You are not forceful or coercive, you offer, but do not manipulate. We have to hear and choose your will and your way.
We are weak and fall continuously, but keep getting up! Even the perfect God Man pleaded for it to pass and fell three times carrying his cross, how much more my weak soul battered by evil internally and externally. Falling is not the end, giving up would be.
The way, truth, & life is in, with, & through Jesus Christ my God! I must choose to give my life to Christ, forsake my freedom for his direction, know suffering is in the plan, never give up, believing he loves me, and gave his life for me, to be one with him forever. I am in Christ part of his actual body and blood.
