Lifeline: Moonlit Prayer

 

 

 

 

Lifeline: Flesh and Spirit

Torn between two worlds

One of selfish passion 

One of selfless actions

In choosing one you deny the other

Life and death butting heads

That's this life's battle

Ripped inside out

Follow your heart

Follow your truth

One has to win
One has to lose

Can't have it both ways
Either we choose to walk in grace
Trying to do what is true
Or we walk away, lose ourselves and our soul too

Lifeline: Changing

It's hard to change into the person we start to envision- the best version of ourselves. It requires working through the mess, the chaos, the sin that has engulfed our life. For change to happen there needs to be a denial; a denial of the self and an acceptance of something far greater and far better, God's will.

Part of coming to a point in our lives where we desire to change is knowing about God's love. That there is something so much better than what we have settled for and that this love brings with it the amazing gift of forgiveness. So, then the second step is recognizing our sin and repenting from it in order to experience spiritual renewal or birth. We cannot begin the change if we don't deny what keeps us from God and if we do not turn to Him. We have to turn to Him ask Him for strength to start leaving behind what keeps us dead in this living world. It will be a lifelong processes.

Over the years I have found the need to reassess my spiritual journey in order to repent from the ways I was choosing to be self-serving. It can be painful but the freedom gained is filled with joy. So reflect be honest be humble and do not rely on your own strength pray to the Holy Spirit to fill you with that strength that comes from God the Father and God the Son.
