Walking by Faith |
Sincere Christians seek to improve themselves constantly.
They joyfully accept criticism, educate, and judge
themselves to see if they are in the faith.
We start out with the consciousness of Romans 3:23 For all
have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. From there comes the gradual progression unto
our perfection. First is perfection in
our salvation which is a product of GOD and then in our daily walks which is a
pursuit of holiness.
When GOD is viewed as
our leader and guide, we see his job as being to inspire trust in us.
Oft times the missing link is our acceptance of what HE is
trying to accomplish in us. He will further inspire us with meaningful
stewardship which inspires our creativity and potential.
God has given us our enablement’s to be successful in our
walk before HIM and it is up to the believer to maximize those empowering
gifts. Perhaps we are too short sighted
and only see our Christian life in the near term instead of a lifetime project.
There is much more to the Christian life than the beginning
(When born again) and the ending (our trip to heaven).
The life in between must have a game plan. High expectations should be the norm and
laying out the course to accomplish them is a must.
If we are constantly hindered by thoughts of failure we will
never arrive where God wants us to be.
Make this your creed; “A failure is but a stepping stone to
success, I’m going to fulfill GOD’S plan for my life and weaknesses can’t stop
me.”
Always view your life as a whole and go forth fulfilling His
purpose in you on a daily basis for life is made up of todays.
Didn’t have a good day today? Move on!
Completely failed today? Move on!
Don’t let seemingly short comings hinder your progress for
GOD sees things in a different light than we do. As the old saying says; “Keep
on, keeping on.”
When you adopt this attitude your victories will out
distance your short comings because just remember; “You are working out your
Salvation.”
amen
ReplyDeleteYour statement was very heavy: "They joyfully accept criticism, educate, and judge themselves to see if they are in the faith." Can we be glad when we are criticized? Can we ask God if it is true and if so - - make some changes? I enjoyed your post and thank you for sharing with us here at Tell me a Story.
