I often forget
Do you ever forget that a life change is called that for a reason. I struggle with the fact that I can see something new and/or amazing about God and be changed by what was revealed to me about God. Then I go back to my old selfish, compromising, untrusting self. I go from KNOWING that God’s way is the best way to live. Instead I return to trying to control my life and do things my way.
Our pastor, Charlie Boyd, reminded us in his message about Jacob this week that life change is a life change. We are changing people not changed people. Yes, ultimately we are changed when we become justified by the blood of Jesus, but our salvation is also a work in progress. God uses our entire life on this earth to make us into Him image.
I often forget what He has done in my heart and return to “my old ways.” It’s encouraging to know that God is STILL at work in my life. I’m not perfect and not going to be here on this earth, but there is a new day coming when I will live out the Life that lives in me forever.
