God introduces Himself to us through the Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Ghost. He created us to be in His own image: Spirit, Soul and Body....like Him, triune beings!
Sadly though, we live out most of our lives through the perspective of Me, Myself and I. Ooooh.... not too spiritual huh? One of me is enough to destroy my life, let alone all three. Lord have mercy!

When God desires our attention, first He must deal with Me! This is somewhat difficult though because, Myself and I are constantly getting in the way! How patient He is!
All kidding aside, we need to recognize this and do something about it. Me, Myself and I are not doing us any favors. This undisciplined Triune Trio has gotten me into more trouble than I care to discuss! Paul said it very well, ( I paraphrase) "What I want to do I don't and what I don't want to do, I do it anyway! Oh Lord, who can save me from my undisciplined self?"
What is the answer? Is it us, finally figuring out how to get focused and becoming independently righteous individuals? Nope, even the great apostle Paul needed some help! He then added:
"Thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!"
Thanks be to God for forgiving me.... helping me to discipline myself.... and loving me in such a way that I just cannot resist Him!
Can somebody say, thank you Jesus!
