I am more dense than most. I get this intellectually but cannot figure out how to apply it practically in my life. My weak things are still weak and I seem to be stuck there.

Thank you for sharing your insights and for all the studying you did to gain those insights. You have explained and compared the three approaches clearly and completely. I am inspired to study and ponder your thoughts further, along with the scriptures, so that I can better overcome my weaknesses, one step at a time.

I finally figured out that when Jesus says "come unto me" He means Every. Single. Day. I turned to Him and said, "Lord, I can't change. Please change me." Every single day. I ask Him to keep my desires, appetites and passions within the bounds that He has set. He has changed my desires, appetites, and passions in ways that I could not do by myself. It has been slow but steady, and I've lost 60 pounds so far. Best of all, I'm not obsessed with weight loss the way I was when I tried to do it in my own strength. When we rely on His strength, He makes weak things strong unto us.

This is an absolutely wonderful and accessible guide to true repentance. Thank you for sharing these thoughts. This is going in my "hall of fame" folder.
