The war between my spirit, which desires godly things, is constantly at war with my old nature. Sometimes, actually most of the time, I hate the battle. I want to be done fighting against my fallen nature and I so desire to be perfected in Christ. How long can I live in this wretched state?
Today I have again renounced the idea that I want Christ to be the center of my life. Heresy you might cry but is it? I don't want Christ to be the center of my life, I want Christ to be my life, my everything, totally consumed by Him. This is so much greater than just Christ simply at the center. It is Christ all consuming in my life and in my desires. That is what I want. I want to want Christ more than anything. I want to want Christ - that He might be my goal. I want nothing less and I will not let up till I have reached my ultimate desire -- to be consumed by Christ and His mission for my life.
