I can't achieve victory in my Christian life. I am only receive it.
I was prattling with one of my camp buddies when I realize that I have some issues that I need to address to God before the year end. Both of us share the same history of rebellion. Haha. A folly which I will not subscribe to anymore.(In Jesus name!.. ) Some part of my resolution for 2005:
1. To know the Personhood of the Holy Spirit. That I may know Him more intimately as a Friend.
2. Discipline.
3. Approval and Acceptance of my Father. I want to learn to be conscience of His approval in my life. There are many times , when I look up to my friends for acceptance when I know that I am made for a relationship with Him.
Anyhow, I am penning this down so that I may trust Him in these area of my life, not for you ASSHOLES out there to label me. Haha. Labelling people have hidden liabilities. Don't judge.
Heavenly Father,
Teach me, Break me. I give you my heart Lord. Teach me to become teachable. That I may be found to be receptive to hear people out. Lord, I want to receive much more from you before the end of the year. That I may also be found faithfull to what You have called me to. That I would strip myself of the little that I have and to trust and tap into Your heavenly resources in all that I do.
In Jesus name I pray. Amen!
Jesus said, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." (2 Co. 12:9) To this statement the Apostle Paul replied, "Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."
