Romans 6:6
We know that our old man was crucified with
him so that the body of sin would no longer dominate us, so that we would no
longer be enslaved to sin
There are things in this life that we need to bury. We
need to draw up execution papers for the things in our lives that do not please
GOD. For when we put our efforts into sin we reap death. However GOD is
faithful. GOD planted his own Son in the earth so that we could become the
fruit of eternity. We are the work of his hands and he has spent all of history
trying to restore. . ., no, recreate us into new creatures. Are you willing to
lay those “things” down in order to pick up your destiny!
It will hurt and be uncomfortable. But once you have put
those former things to rest you will be ready to proceed into the larger things
GOD has for you. These are the times that GOD is calling us to follow his Son
into eternity. Do not let anyone define you by your past. Your past is nothing
more than a testimony of where GOD has delivered you from. You are not your
past, or your present situations. In fact they don’t matter. What does matter
are the moments to come. The moments GOD has ahead of you are what you are
preparing for right now. The old ways we used to bear in our flesh where the
angles Satan used to hold us back. Set them down and embrace the person GOD is
preparing you to be. Never settle for who you were! Keep pressing towards the
mark GOD has set before you and never look back.
Just as there are things to bury, there are things we
need to keep alive. Love, hope and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and love for
our neighbors in this world are the acts that encompass all of GOD’s
expectations for us. You don’t have to be a mega church pastor,famous author or
public speaker to make a difference in this world. Love is a rare thing in this
world. Show it! It can and will make a difference in this life and the next.
Be encouraged
I love you always and in all ways!
Rev. M. Harrison
