Introduction

I’m not sure where to begin, so I will simply begin.

It is my prayer that even just one soul finds some sort of positive insight from this blog. Recently, I have been struggling with quite a lot and felt the need to try putting my thoughts onto paper.

I’m not an eloquent writer, and certainly not one of any caliber worth reading, but my thought was that if I am going to write, I might as well do it in a manner that may prove beneficial to someone other than me.

In this blog I am going to do my best to share unfiltered, raw thoughts and emotions I face on a daily basis as a follower of Christ. In the New Testament, we are told by the Apostles that, as believers, we are Saints. How can this be? Surely I am no saint.

While I wrestle with this concept, I also refuse to deny the work of Christ in my heart: if I were not a saint, then His work would not be complete in me, and He would not be the Son of God. But we know this isn’t so. In Him I am made holy and presentable to the Father.

Nevertheless, I cannot shake the filth that is my heart; I feel so dirty most times that I don’t even want to come to the Lord in prayer. But I do, because who else am I to go to?

In the writings to come, I will address my struggles, pitfalls, shortcomings, and triumphs as a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. Everyday is a battle, but a battle I will never cease to fight.

This blog is posted anonymously for two primary reasons: First of all, I think I will be able to share more openly. And secondly, it is my hope that without a face or name here, anyone will be able to relate to the content in a more practical way.

I’m not going to do much proof reading or editing of these posts. Join me on my journey with Christ.

sincerely,

A wretched saint
