"IN FAITH, HE..." Death to Self - Life in the Spirit So often my "self" threatens the quality of my service and commitment to God. It's a natural phenomena. However, it is a very real daily problem facing Christians. The accounts are too many to focus on one. I'm sure you understand.
I find that when I cry out to Jesus for recovery when "self" gets in the way, "IN FAITH, HE..." meets the need. His peace, power, courage, compassion, forgiveness, or humbling spirit, are mine for the asking. A cry for "death to self" brings forth the fruits of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, indwelling every born again believer. He is quick with our recovery. We see instant results, and we get to see Him do it! Yes!
Gal. 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control...!
Lord, Resting in your goodness. Giving you the reigns. Trusting not in who I am but who You are in me. Your Spirit lets me know when I am out of line with you. Thank you for the nudges that help me to grow and learn a better way. Thank you for Life in the Spirit. Amen
