Spiritual Growth! ♥

Not much to say really.
I was just really jonesing to get on here and write something.
I've been experiencing a lot of tests recently.
And God has been giving me the grace to overcome by completely RELYING on Him.
It is like watching someone else live through me because I know that it is all Him.

Something on my heart right now is just growth and what that looks like.
Growing means change.
And as a believer I want to grow.
BUT often I don't want the change that comes with that.
Such as, surrendering a thought or praying for an enemy or avoiding "those" movies.
We are called to resist the devil.
To FLEE evil.
BUT we don't want to change.

So your sitting around wanting growth but your not willing to change.
It is the equivalent of wanting a job but not sending out your resume.
YOU HAVE TO WORK.
And yes, that does mean it will set you apart from your friends and family.
Maybe even other fellow believers.
BECAUSE God doesn't like complacency or stagnant lives.
Since the fall we were called to give birth, toil the earth and rule over the land.
I don't know about you but that doesn't sound like a lazy fate.

So this is just an exhortation to myself as well as you.
PRACTICING GODLINESS REQUIRES PRACTICE AND WORK.
We have to be seeking to live for the one who died for us.
WE have to be willing to move and act as HE has called us to move and act.


This life is not our own.

So pray for your enemy.
Because they aren't your enemy.
They're the Lords.
Stop gossiping.
It isn't your truth/lie to spread.
Stop focusing on yourself.
FOCUS ON THE CROSS.

Go out and read your bible.
Go out and spread the love of Christ.

WE have to be living with the belief of having the SPIRIT of God in us.
Knowing that Christ has overcame it all.


What a harsh truth and heavy reality to face...


Love you all.
