Too often we focus our identity on Paul’s comment that we are all as filthy rags without remembering that those words described us before Christ. In him we are new creations. Because of his blood we are empowered by the Holy Spirit. Today live in the victory Christ has given you!
Carefully chosen words build up, not destroy and point to Jesus. Humble speech focuses on others, not ourselves.
The things I fear the most are the consequences of my own poor choices. Even in the midst of these my God has proven faithful. He guides me through the wilderness of my unfaithfulness and back into his loving arms.
To lay down one’s life for his friends is indeed noble, but Jesus not only lay his life down for his friends, he lay it down for his enemies. He died for those he knew would reject him, hate him, doubt him and twist what he said for thier own desires.
What you’re heart is passionate for determines your attitude for life. A heart passionate for the things of God finds joy; a heart passionate for self-comfort finds frustration and emptiness.
