The real climb

From March 2000: "How blessed is the comfort that Jesus is all forgiving; that He will turn his eyes away and forget our iniquities?  How frustrating is trying to live for God on our own strength? How torturous are our thoughts when we allow Satan to convince us that we have ultimately failed and there is no redemption left?  Living is a struggle, without struggle we are not really living.  We will continually climb up hill to that glorious rest in God's eternal kingdom."
