Everyone has someone to talk to. Everyone is companioned. I am all alone, In the world of my own. I learn to talk to myself, For it is the only way I can express myself.

The Spirit frees us from the frustration and fruitlessness of trying to overcome sin, please God and be righteousness by our effort alone.…
