Have you sought to exchange your own human effort for divine strength? What happened?
-
I had to first learn that this is the essence of the gospel and of salvation and that, in reality, I have died with Christ and my life is now hid with Christ in God. I saw that God is ever-present and is greater than any need, desire, or problem we can ever imagine facing. I saw that He wanted my love and devotion more than can be expressed. He is eager to bless, indwell, and empower the humble sinner who will trust Him. THE RESULT: It was simple and comforting. He is changing me.
-
Yes. The Bible passage I was studying was opened up more clearly and it was much easier to apply it to my life.
-
Yes I will now ask for God to help me in my devotional life so that I could really get to know Him and His messages for me.
-
Yes I have. When my dad died and when my son left to become a Marine. This has happened to me many times in my life in difficult situations where the Lord literally carried me through situations. I had to surrender my will to His and allow Him to guide me through those times. A similar thing happened this weekend when my husband had a bicycle accident and I had to allow the Lord to take over.
-
This is a continual journey of knowing myself in Christ, yielding what He shows me I am still being self-willed about, agreeing with Him about this sin, and surrendering my full self to His Work in me.
