"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer life, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." Galatians 2:20
I just have to tell you that yesterday was one of the most challenging days ever to live out Ephesians 4:29. I don't know if it was because I was more aware of it, or because the enemy loves for me to feel like a failure when I'm trying to encourage others. Let me tell you. Someone was working overtime to make this momma feel like harsh words were needed yesterday.
It is good to step back and realize:
*I can't do this if I'm living in my own flesh.
*I can't do this unless I am willing to crucify my will and let Christ live through me.
It is good to step back and realize:
*I can't do this if I'm living in my own flesh.
*I can't do this unless I am willing to crucify my will and let Christ live through me.
*I only claim success by having faith that the one Who gave His life for me, loves me and can do this through me.
This reminds me of Mt.11 It is never easy to lay myself down and let my fleshly desires be crucified with Christ....but once I do, I find out how much easier it is to live that way than on my own.
What about you?
