"5Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you--unless, of course, you fail the test?"
2 Corinthians 13
Many often say the narrow path feels lonely; it is hard, and difficult. If the narrow path feels like this one should examine themselves and make sure they are still on the narrow path (not to say one is not). The point is only the flesh can see the narrow path as a burdensome or lonely place. The Narrow path is were we find the presence of God which is fullness of joy, it is where we have fellowship with Jesus, the narrow path can only be walked in the Spirit which is liberty, peace, joy and rest. Yes we must strive hard to enter that narrow door, however we strive through faith in Jesus and Trusting Him, while self... dies. Its only burdensome, lonely and draining if self is still alive and wants its way.

We are to TRUST and BELIEVE Jesus. We often think we can do things our selves and run off a head of Jesus rather than wait on Him. Then we wander why things did not work out, or why we have fell again. Just because you have made it up in your mind, does not mean that everything is good to go. Even in repentance, just because you have changed you mind and set to do good, does not mean you are able to stand against the temptation. If you believe in yourself and that's it you will fall and or fail. If you believe in Jesus you wait on Him and HE changed, validates, strengthens you.
Remember repent means to change your heart and mind completely. Confessing with your lips is great setting your mind to do good is awesome, but if your heart has not changed you will always go back. When you sin knowing the truth, knowing it'swrong it is willful and there is no sacrifice for willful sin (after knowing the truth). Repent, change your mind, you can only have a total change in heart when you seek Jesus and surrender to Him. Seek Him in Prayer let HIM minister to you. With out Him we can do nothing. To many still trust in their own intellect and opinions or worse the reasoning's of others. Seek Jesus for your self before it's too late. Repent from all sin and cut off whatever is associated with that sin. This is about life and death. Stop playing Church, Jesus sees and knows everything even the things man does not see.
