Saved people can destroy their lives

Ok, so its been a few minutes since I have started this blogging experience and I have something to write about. Something that we all need to keep in mind as Christians is that we can destroy our lives while living as saved people. This is because we have not denied ourselves and taken up the cross of Christ. We need to defeat our flesh and let Jesus work in our lives. We all struggle with something, whether it be lying, stealing, cursing, pornography and so on, and we can only defeat it with Jesus's strength. The fact that we are taking part in these things is evidence that we are weak on our own. So please turn to Jesus, honestly seek his help and you can get out of the sin that is ruining your life.
I have a problem with verbally abusing people, because my parents used to do the same to me. But the more time I spend with Jesus, the more I overcome the need to partake in that disgusting act. Please do not act like you are perfect when you are suffering inside. It only fools yourself and hurts everyone. For anyone reading this that is not a Jesus believer, you have to realise that people fall short of the glory of Jesus and when a Christian does something wrong, it does not one bit reflect the nature of Jesus. Remember, we have free will, and unfortunately the human nature tends to use their free will to do wrong, so again this should not reflect on Jesus's part, however it does not pardon the Christian from the duty they have to serve as an example of Christ to the world.
Just be honest, that you have shortcomings and you will be surprised how many unsaved people will be more willing to listen to you than when they find out that everything you said you were was a lie. Notice the people Jesus was drawn to were those who openly said they were not good enough, he loves that.
I am writing this because I was in bondage to promoting a perfect image that I was not and its in realising that the reason you need Jesus is because you are not perfect, you will be freed and then Jesus can begin to have a real affect on your life.
Stay strong in Jesus and put your entire trust in him.
Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding; in all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."
