In a sense, I need to be re-raised, not just restored and retrained. I need to be taught the ways of heaven by Father Himself, who chose me before the foundation of the world, that I would be holy and blameless before Him.
God isn't expecting me to have a built-in understanding of how to walk in a way
that's holy and blameless, any more than a parent expects a toddler to have a built-in understanding of how to wash the car or cook dinner. I think it's time I rejoiced in
my helplessness to do what pleases God, so that I will come before Him in childlike anticipation of what He will do through me each day as I allow Him full control.
