All tagged New Life
We are beginning a new year, and in so doing there is much hope for the future. This is a perfect time to leave old failures, and anxieties behind, and grasp new goals, but more than that it is an opportunity to vanquish our own efforts to defeat the sins that have controlled us for so long, and let God stand against them. Against all our enemies God is strong, and able to conquer. In all our needs and shortcomings He is our provider... In this first day of the new year hand all to Him.
When we say that Jesus abides in us and we in Him what does that really mean to us? Does it mean that we have a house guest that we treat cordially, or does it mean that we are actually sharing a home and life with Jesus... doing our laundry together... preparing and eating our meals together... praying together? How convenient it is for some to treat Him as a guest in their home, when in fact Christ wants joint ownership in that home, and to live fully in it with us, sharing Himself just as He expects us to share ourselves.
