Jesus does not define our life by our struggles. He sees more than our failures. He defines us by the seeds of virtue that are in our heart and what we set our heart on, not only by what we attain. He sees a willing spirit in us (Matt 26:41). He defines us by our longings to Love and obey Him. The Devil calls us hopeless hypocrites. The enemy wears down many with accusations and condemnation. He wants us to feel like hopeless hypocrites so that we will give up. He wants us to confuse immaturity with rebellion so that we give up.
