The more you reaffirm who you are in Christ, the more your behavior will begin to reflect your true identity!
Isn't it funny that when the Apostle Paul addressed the church in Chorinth, he always said "to the saints" even though they were buried in sin and foolish behavior.
Do you see how this will change your life if you begin to renew your mind and see yourself in a new light. Paul says in Romans 12:3 that if you want to change the way you live, change the way you think, don't be conformed to this world but transformed. How? "by the renewing of your mind"
In Colossians 1:22 YOU who once were alienated and enemies in our mind by wicked works, yet now God has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you HOLY and blameless and above reproach in His sight!!!
Don't you see? God looks at you and sees you HOLY because He sees Christ in you. Begin to see your self in that light. Continually persuade your heart of this truth.
Now, when sin or foolish behavior, or even hurt feelings comes in front of you, it is so much easier to walk away from it because that is not who you really are.
There are many more scriptures to back this up so if you have questions or comments or just want to hear more, let me know.
If you have never accepted Christ in your heart, I will be more than happy to pray with you. It will be the most rewarding sense of freedom you will ever experience.
God Bless,
Stillhurts (no more!!!)
