If I fall away

What would be the consequences if I fall away from the faith? I have seen Sunday School teachers of my time fell away. I kept telling myself to watch I do, be careful how I do things. Don't put myself in a position where my principles, convictions and beliefs (ain't they all the same?) will be compromised. I don't mind the challenge, but am I strong enough to resist the forbidden fruit? O how I love to think I can do all things, but I can't. Only thru Christ can I overcome. On my own I only make things worse.

I wonder what would cause me to fall away. I dun want to fool myself to think that I will not fall. That is foolish pride! I want to be aware of my weakness and let Christ be my strength. I dun want to fail my wife, leaders, co-workers and friends. Ultimately I don't want a shame to the Gospel. May my life be true because the Word is living truth!

O God, by Your mercy show me my misery of trusting myself instead of trusting You.

Never let me sleep in peace until I find me peace in You.

O God, by Your grace I bid all earthly systems farewell and enter into union with You.

Never relent your hands from me until I see your face.
