Learning from my sins helps with Character Building.

I gave into my desires last night. I've been doing good but I just could not resist the urge I had. I started feeling guilty and shame the usual stuff that goes when I sin. 

I put on my Abide Meditation to go to sleep. It was called "You've got character."

  May you always be filled with the threat of your salvation? The righteous character produced in your life by Jesus. For this will bring much glory and praise to God. Fill Philippines 1:11 

At 2:38 Tyler Boss mentioned Oswald Chambers.  I Have his book My UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST.  

So I stop the meditation becsuse I wanted to read the message for that day 14th of March.

And boy was I shocked. The title and scripture was Yielded : You are that one's slave whom you obey Roman 6:16. 

For example, yield for 1 second to anything in the nature of lust, and although you hate yourself for having yielded, you become enslave to that thing.

And that's exactly what I felt just before I read that, it's amazing how God highlights things in your life.I just love it here is the full reading ..

March 14 

Yielding 

“You are that one’s slaves whom you obey" Romans 6:16 

The first thing I must be willing to admit when I begin to examine what controls and dominates me is that I am the one responsible for having yielded myself to whatever it may be. If I am a slave to myself, I am to blame because somewhere in the past I yielded to myself. Likewise, if I obey God I do so because at some point in my life I yielded myself to Him. If a child gives in to selfishness, he will find it to be the most enslaving tyranny on earth. There is no power within the human soul itself that is capable of breaking the bondage of the nature created by yielding. 

For example, yield for one second to anything in the nature of lust, and although you may hate yourself for having yielded, you become enslaved to that thing. (Remember what lust is—“I must have it now,” whether it is the lust of the flesh or the lust of the mind.) 

No release or escape from it will ever come from any human power, but only through the power of redemption. You must yield yourself in utter humiliation to the only One who can break the dominating power in your life, namely, the Lord Jesus Christ.

 “He has anointed Me . . . to proclaim liberty to the captives” (Luke 4:18 and Isaiah 61:1). 

When you yield to something, you will soon realize the tremendous control it has over you. Even though you say, “Oh, I can give up that habit whenever I like,” you will know you can’t. You will find that the habit absolutely dominates you because you willingly yielded to it.

 It is easy to sing, “He will break every fetter,” while at the same time living a life of obvious slavery to yourself. But yielding to Jesus will break every kind of slavery in any person’s life.
