Nothing in my hands I bring, simply to thy cross I cling. - Augustus Toplady

Yet, how often are we guilty of trying to hang on to everything and anything else, and then finally realizing Jesus is the only thing we need to cling to?

Okay, so maybe it's just me. But it takes a while to get it through my thick head that I can't fix all of my needs. After trying so hard to do things myself, I finally come to the conclusion that no matter how hard I try, I will always come up short.

In order for us to accept our Savior, we have to first realize that we have a need. A need that causes us to deny our own righteousness, and accept His.

Mmmhmm....thank the Lord for that.

(because we all know how well things work when a control freak tries to take over ;))
