Rejoice, change, encourage, harmony and peace, are powerful words that
can impact our lives and the lives of others. Yet often times they seem to be
the hardest ones to do, to express, to think upon.
But we make the choice whether or not to apply them and express them.
For me I often allow how “I feel” to control my thoughts, words and actions.
This I am not proud of, but willingly admit it is my biggest struggle.
My heart desires to walk in action and obedience, yet my flesh desires
to walk in self. Miss “ME” is a very dominate woman, who I am still battling
and though she often wins, I know Jesus in me is greater than she is and
because of Him the victory has already been won.
But until He takes me home, I have to keep fighting. I have to keep
focusing on His love and mercy. I have to keep filling my life with His Word.
And I have to daily ask for His help to apply and live out His Word. I have to
become conscious and aware of my thoughts, actions, words, and behavior and
refuse to give into the ugly parts of them.
Jesus overcame all things. He endured all that I endure today. He
resisted Satan. He walked a perfect and holy life. He knows the core of my heart,
your heart, and He loves us anyway.
His power works best in my weaknesses. “My power works best in your weaknesses.” 2
Corinthians 12:9
He completes every part of me and I need to walk in that beautiful
thought and promise.
Jesus I have tried to control
too many aspects of this life You have given me. I no longer want that
responsibility. It was Yours to begin with. I can’t fight without You. I can’t
walk in obedience and faith without the Holy Spirit in me. Amen
