Throwing off...Putting on

"It's people don't realize I am watching them. Their sinful deeds are all around them; I see them all." Hosea 7:2


My sweet friends as we bring this week's S.S.A.L.S (study, store, apply, live and share) to an end, I pray that you have found yourselves throwing off some more of the old ways of living just as I have, and putting on some new.

Here are some things I am  throwing out that have been surrounding me;

My short fuse
Laziness
Bitterness
Selfishness
Disrespect

Here are some things I am putting on;

Self control- even if my tongue bleeds from biting it and even if my nerves are bulging out of my skin.
Respect with my words and body language
Self-LESS-ness
The attitude to serve!

It has been a tough week that has been full of God's love through some major disciplining, and lot's of exposure, it fills me with joy as I look back at this week because I know through each phase of this journey, God's love lies, along with growth and wisdom.

Prayer: Lord continue to shine Your searchlight upon me, exposing any and all sinfulness that might surround me. Forgive me Father, I ask this in Your name. Amen
