Reflections of a godly woman

From my daughter's Facebook entry Tuesday, August 7, 2012: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." John 3:16 To "believe" means, "to commit to one's trust." To trust in God is to yield your whole life to Him, to DIE to self. He wants the WHOLE of us! Believing is seeking His will through His word. It's is more than the lip service of talking about who we are. It's Christ IN US showing WHOSE we are! Should we not yield to His word and the work of His Spirit so that HIS life in us reflects the glory of HIS work in us? He is indeed our life. We as yielded bondservants no longer live for ourselves. HE lives IN US and we are called to yield to Him at all times and in all things. What a joy! Let us seek Him and HIS word, so that we are continually sanctified in HIM moment by moment, day by day. We are told through His word: "Do not be conformed to this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect." Romans 12:2 Let us consider the COST, for Christ paid the debt on the cross and bore our shame. Let us abhor evil and cling to that which is good, acceptable and perfect: The KING OF KING AND LORD OF LORDS, ALMIGHTY GOD. For He is THE treasure! When sin and flesh rise, let us cling to the One who saves and confess our sin, as He is faithful and just and cleanses us from all unrighteousness! THE ONE true GOD gave His SON to conquer sin and death so we can live free. There is NO greater gift!
