2 Corinthians 3:18 “...............And as the Spirit of the
Lord works within us, we become more and more like him and reflect his glory.”
“Make me More
like You Jesus, Take my Life and Let it
Be, Lord Make me an Instrument for
You” All these wonderful worship songs
we sing and we ask to be more like Jesus and indeed, that is our goal! Paul tells us, as we allow the Spirit to work
within us, we will become more like him.
I am aware I
was created with a strong and somewhat stubborn mind. My husband often reminds me of this. I used to wonder and ask God why he created
me this way and I came to the realization, as I grow spiritually, I am learning
to give up my stubborn nature and let it go.
As I continue to work at this I
sense progress, I sense the glory of the Lord becoming stronger in me. As I let go, God takes over! I am aware of my stubborn nature and
selfishness becoming more faint. I
realize this is a process that I need to allow to happen. Were it not for the actual process, I would
never experience the struggle of letting go. Yes! it is a struggle at times but
the product at the end is worth it all! If I continue barging ahead on my own path without allowing
God to control, I will never become what God intended me to be. As I let more and more of my “self” go, I
become more and more like Christ and this is the goal of my life, How about
you? Are you willing to let go and let
God take control?
Prayer for today: Heavenly
Father, I am so thank full that I am your child and you are my Father. You are the potter and I am the clay and even
though it has taken me many years to allow you to be Lord of my life, I have
experienced much learning through the process.
I thank and praise you for having patience with me and loving me through
it all. I want to become more like you,
Jesus. I pray in Jesus name. Amen.
