Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. LAUGH, LOVE, AND BE STRESS FREE!!
Who lives in you? Really!! What thoughts do you possess that control your life?
Some people let drugs control them Some people let alcohol control them. Some pornography, some envy, jealousy, hate, anger, ugly or evil thoughts, and so on.
We, as children of God, can overcome these for one reason and one reason only. We accepted Jesus as our savior and He gave us the Holy Spirit to guide our lives. It is important to remember that the Holy Spirit is a gentleman, and we have to invite Him in, follow His lead, and walk in the footsteps of Christ.
Too often we blunder ahead in our own way, not listening to the Spirit, not praying for God's guidance, but just doing it MY WAY!
Colossians 3: 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
God is our ruling force once we accepted Jesus Christ as our savior. So often we treat God's guidance, the Holy Spirit's leading as we did our parents growing up. We may listen, we may hear, but we still are going to do it MY WAY!! Just like one of my daughters told me years ago when I told her what she should do, she tried it HER WAY, found out my way worked. Then she turned, looked at me and say, and I quote, "I hate it when you are right!"
She did not really hate it, but she so wanted to prove me wrong. I believe, in my opinion, that we so often do this to the Holy Spirit, to God, and Jesus. We want to be right, yet, God knows us from the womb to the tomb and sees what is best for us.
We want to be right. So, we do need to "LET THE PEACE OF GOD RULE IN OUR HEARTS", take pride out, listen, pray, and follow. Thank you for reading today. Love y'all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
