I'm starting to realize&& embrace the fact that I have to totally abandon myself&& the plans I've made for me. Only God knows what Hes doing; and I have to let Him have His way. Hes showing me that right now. And if I'm not going to listen; hes going to have everything blow up in my face in order to get my attention. and you know what??? YOU HAVE MY ATTENTION!!
I have to stop living for my flesh&& living for the spirit.
To abandon my way of thinking; and take on HIS word;
and HIS will for me.
This isn't about me anymore;
&& I need to learn that.
I CAN'T
keep ignoring Him.
I have to let Him in.
I have to let Him take over.
Because this isn't my life.
It's His; and I have to PORTRAY that in my walk.
IM THROUGH BEING CARNAL.
Even if its just a little bit.
Even if its just a microscopic part;
I must rid myself of all sin.
Taking on the NEW MAN.
To be Jesus in EVERYTHING i do.
Not just in my words; but in my actions.
I don't want to become a complacent, carnal, Sunday christian
AND I WON'T.
Psalm 51:
6 Surely you desire truth in the inner parts;
you teach [b] me wisdom in the inmost place.
7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones you have crushed rejoice.
9 Hide your face from my sins
and blot out all my iniquity.
10 Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11 Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the JOY of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
and sinners will turn back to you.
14 Save me from bloodguilt, O God,
the God who saves me,
and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.
15 O Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth will declare your praise.
16 You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;
you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart,
O God, you will not despise.
18 In your good pleasure make Zion prosper;
build up the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then there will be righteous sacrifices,
whole burnt offerings to delight you;
then bulls will be offered on your altar.
