2 Peter 1:3) His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godlines through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Have you had a day when you felt you were an awful Christian? Maybe you thought you'd let God down so much that He'd never want to connect with you again. As embarrassment covered you, you didn't feel as if you could honestly cal yourself a Christian before the world. On that kind of spectacularly bad day, take heart. God has given you everything you need to be righteous, and He isn't planning on taking it away. He isn't looking to get rid of you or demand your resighation as a CChristian. Maybe that's because He didn't expect you to be perfect on your own in the first place. He promised to give you all that you needed to please Him, but not simply through your own effort. We have all we need for the godly life because God is glorious and good, not because we are. We're not trying to become little gods, but, to live daily in the power of His Spirit, which He's already given to us. Because His Spirit fills our souls, we can be cleansed, redirected, and serve our Lord. So the next time you have a bad day, remember, you're not doing this in your power, but His. Ask Him to cleanse you of all sin, show you the way you need to go, and start walking. Then remember you're heading toward His glory and goodness. Nothing can stop you now. news:alt.discuss.clubs.public.religion.spirituality.revgerrymoore
