There is nothing that His grace can&#8217;t handle.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter if our sins are &#8220;little&#8221; or &#8220;big&#8221;, His grace is sufficient.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important for us to know that having something that we struggle with isn&#8217;t enough to push God away or cause Him to turn away from us. It&#8217;s <i>because<\/i> of our struggles that we need Him. If we were perfect, we&#8217;d have no need for His grace and mercy.<\/p>\n<p>Matthew 9:12 (NKJV) 12 When Jesus heard that, He said to them, \u201c<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>And there is no &#8220;issue&#8221; that we can bring before Him that He can&#8217;t handle. His grace is sufficient.<\/p>\n<p>The key to all of this is one word; struggle. For if we&#8217;re struggling, it means that we&#8217;re <i>trying <\/i>to do right. We&#8217;re <i>trying <\/i>to obey, but we <i>struggle <\/i>with getting it right. Underneath the struggle, though, is a sincere effort. A genuine desire to put that sin behind us and move beyond it.<\/p>\n<p>So if you&#8217;re trying, don&#8217;t give up. Keep seeking God and making an effort to get it right. If we keep trying, sooner or later we will get it.<\/p>\n<p>And in the meantime, God&#8217;s grace is sufficient.<\/p>\n<p>Pastor Curt &amp; Pastor Ellie<\/p>\n<p>Seven Seas Ministries<br \/>\nP.O.
