Faith Goes a long Way

I listened to Joyce Meyer this morning. She is just one of many I listen to. She was talking about faith and the fruits of the spirit. That God does not do anything in our lives without our persmission because of free will. I have never done all things Godly in my life, but I have felt the Spirit of God calling me for a long time. I accepted Jesus as Lord years ago and have walked with Him. He has seen the hidden parts of me. Afterall, the bible teaches in Psalm 139:7 Where can I go from your spirit? Where can I flee from your presence. I am embracing this week this change. It will take dicsipline, but I embrace that without dicsipline change cannot take root. I do not want to continue as a flower constantly being choked by all the weeds. I want to be what God desires today. I know in saying this, I am up for a fight. I also admit that I have human traits that may seem contrary to some, but judge not lest you be judged. I always accept that I will most likely never arrive, but it's the striving and awareness that counts. I walk today and allow God to deal with me and where I am right now. Take my life and let it be, higher in your ways! Help me to be mindful of my words to everyone I come in contact with. Gods love constrains me and compels me and it is because of your love that I can love. This of course is most important! I hope to rid myself of the need to impress and find that flow in just being who I am. Who I am belongs to Gods work in me. I need to let go and let God as it's said.....maturity! Whatever we do in this life, well we have to do the hard work! Whatever that is it will take time, but doesn't everything!
