Trust in Christ

: O wretched man that I am! Yea, my heart sorroweth because of my flesh; my soul grieveth because of mine iniquities.
18  I am encompassed about, because of the temptations and the sins which do so easily beset me.
19  And when I desire to rejoice, my heart groaneth because of my sins; nevertheless, I know in whom I have trusted.
2 Nephi 4:17-19

I like Nephi, get great anxiety over the natural man in me, sometimes feeling like everything is up to me, to save myself. Then I remember that I can trust in Jesus Christ.

The verses continue.

20  My God hath been my support; he hath led me through mine afflictions in the wilderness; and he hath preserved me upon the waters of the great deep.
21  He hath filled me with his love, even unto the consuming of my flesh.
2 Nephi 4:20-21

I have had many afflictions, and each and every time, Christ has lifted me out of them, and brought me to a peak of highness that I never knew, possible. And yet he does this for me again and again. The verse says "he hath filled me with his love, even unto the consuming of my flesh". This is remarkable. Just what the love of Christ can do. The love of Christ can knock out the natural man, who hateth when things don't go as they planned. This is why I want to obtain the pure love of Christ.
