A
reminder for today
For
we were slaves, but in his unfailing love our God did not abandon us in our
slavery. (Ezra 9:9)
I do hope you are well my dear friend and that you are
starting to feel change in your life as we strive to live a life of change. As I
drove home yesterday I thought that it is easy to change what we say but not so
easy to change how we say it. I often find myself saying something but the
meaning of what I wanted to say is distorted by how I say it. We have this
ability to use nice words but the way we say things can make these words mean
something completely different.
In our journey towards change it is not only important
that we look at what we say but how we say. God gave me this image of slavery
this morning. I see how we have become slaves to our set ways and how we are
chained by these old habits. I see God does not abandon us in our prison but He
needs us to break free and remove these chains from our lives.
We need to give our old habits and old ways to the Lord
so that He can renew us completely in such a way that we will change our old
ways into His new ways. Therefore we will bring light into every conversation
and God will touch hearts and change people.
Come my dear friend and let us allow God to change our
ways and renew our hearts for His glory.
Dear Lord, please take away our old and bad habits and
change our hearts and minds so that we will be more like you. Let us change the
way we say things so that we will always respect one another and show your love
no matter what the situation is like. Lord fill us with your peace so that we
will display control in every situation bringing glory to your name as we bring
your light in every challenge we face each day. Lord let this change of our
hearts affect other so that they too will long for a relationship with you and
a life of change. In Jesus name.
Have and awesome day dear friend of Jesus
Cheers
