As each year goes by,our walk with our God deepens.
Learning the lessons of our God,eventually creates
a stability within our very spirits.
With time and personal witness to our God working in
and through us,we mature somewhat.
It is difficult at first,as any babes as they grow
dislike change in any form.
As our spirits are taught,His love grows in proportion.
It is balanced, timely,and perfect.
To receive to much to soon,would overwhelm us,we
couldn't handle it.
We tire shortly after our glow inside dims within.
This is but the realization that our spirits battle daily
with our own selfishness.
So we are led by the Holy Spirit to change our minds,
to renew them to Gods ways,through His word.
We have always lived in that world we came out of,
but never really being a part of.
This is the reason why we must change our ways(wordly),
to Gods ways(spiritual).
Change this deep requires a confrontation with ourselves.
It is revealing,and painful,and in Gods eyes necessary.
We live and learn,and if we persevere,
we reap what we sow in time.
We find that through Gods promises,
by our faith,and love in Him;
that all fear disappears,along with our doubts.
We begin to see spiritually that most of the problems
we encountered on this walk, have been our own doing,
due to our own inability to choose correctly?
Your God knew you would resist strongly His precepts
and that change does not come easily or quickly for you.
It is a narrow road,but a true road which only a Son of God
will travel upon, for to obtain more of Jesus within us,we pay
a price at each step in that spiritual walk.
Hopefully, the more we separate us from the world we came out of,
the closer and deeper we come to Him.
We then reach that point that His love through us must be given
to those weaker, that their burdons need carrying,their tears need His
compassion,this is Christlikeness,as He meant it too be in us.
This is the real "Joy of the Lord",and
our supernal knowing of our God.
"And be not conformed to this world:
but be ye transformed by the renewing of
your mind, that ye may prove what is that
good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
Romans12:2
"Let this mind be in you,which was
also in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 2:5
"For to be carnally minded is death; but
to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Because the carnal mind is enmity
against God: for it is not subject to the law of
God,neither indeed can be.
So then they that are in the flesh
cannot please God."
Romans 8:6-8
