But, I don't want to....I can't!

There have been so many truths from God that I have had a hard time embracing and applying to my life. Usually it is because of my life experience that puts me in the situation of thinking and saying, "but I don't want to", or "I can't".
Forgiving was one of them. Oh how hard that was sometimes. And depends on the situation, it is still a challenge now.
Looking back I wondered how I got pass that. How did I move from "I can't" to "I will". Some situations are blurry in my head because I deliberately push the experience aside, not wanting to remember, because I didn't want to do it.
Or, I don't want to remember the situation because it was too painful and it was one of those times I said "but I can't".
Getting to "I will" was simple, but definately not easy.
How was it simple? Well, throughout God's word, it is written that it is only through the grace and strength/enabling of God that we can do/obey/apply truth. Especially the hard ones.
2Co 12:9: 'He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.”
Our weakness is manifested in our "I can'ts" and our "I don't want tos". I have found out, and I am finding out, that God most definately keeps His word ALWAYS! So when He says, "My power is made perfect in your weakness", He means it.
Only through the grace of God that we can embrace and live His truths, even the ones that seems impossible. 
Go to Him, He will heal you, change you,  and teach you how to live according to His truths.
