I am going to be a good girl today. But, everyday I try and I want to be a good girl, but I can't do it. I can't be a good girl. Because there is only one person who can ever help me to be good: Jesus.
The only person who would ever help me be a good girl is Jesus Christ. I am a sinner, and I cannot control my sinful nature. I wanted to be good but I can not, instead I do things that where wrong no matter how I tried to be good. It is only by the finished work of Christ on the cross that we can be delivered from sin. The righteousness of God is imputed to us when we forsake our sins and believe, 2 Corinthians 5:21. It is Christ who works in us enabling us to do good when we are saved, otherwise all our good works are like filthy rugs before God. Like Paul said in Romans 7, "O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?" And the answer, that it is only through Christ that we can be delivered and freed from the bondage of sin. I am so amazed by God's power that I want to cry. I am a wretched little girl, and I know I am a wretched sinner who needs only a good saviour to help me. Glory belongs to God!

It's a wise young woman who seeks the kingdom of God first. Just remember, there is no spoon! God molds you and makes you in his image.
