Have you "dropped the ball?"
In other words, have you ever failed being a steward of the life you have been given?
Have you . . .
made a mistake . . .
or did something that was completely . . .
well . . . dumb . . .
and, then, did it again . . .
and again?
Before you knew it, the mistake became a way of life.
It is easy to point to others and see the habits that rule their life.
When we examine ourselves and let the search light of the Spirit of God move through our mind, heart, and soul . . .
we will see behaviors that entrap . . .
that are entrenched in the way we think, speak, and do things . . .
that have become a part of our identity . . .
and suck life out of us.
Whether the compulsive habit has settle in as an attitude, thought, or action, the battle begins in the mind;
however,
at the end of the day,
the matter becomes a heart issue.
The reason?
We have allowed something to rule a portion of our life. These are the things that make us unhealthy and prevent us from living to the fullest measure.
Christ, God with us, came to set us free.
Then Jesus turned to the Jews who had claimed to believe in him. "If you stick with this, living out what I tell you, you are my disciples for sure. Then you will experience for yourselves the truth, and the truth will free you." (John 8: 31-32, Message)
Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me. (John 14:6, Amplified)
Christ is Truth.
Without Christ, we do not know complete truth.
With Truth, we are able to see what is in our life that does not belong.
With the presence and power of the Spirit of Christ, we can become free.
Experience Truth.
Ask God to search your mind, heart, and soul.
Face the Truth.
Let go of what does not belong in your life.
Rely on the presence and power of Christ to set you free moment by moment and day by day.
Learning with you to be set free through the presence of Truth,
Kerrie
