The Real You

. . . That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.

Ephesians 3:17  

Today's Bible Reading:  Romans 8:1-11.

Experts have told us that society is sick. Their solutions have treated human frailty with infusions of low-income housing, welfare payments, integrated education, and psychological conditioning. But we are learning that this is not the total answer. The world does need changing, society needs changing, the nation needs changing, but we will never change it until we ourselves are changed. And we will never change until we look into the mirror of our own soul and face with candour what we are inside. Then freely acknowledge that there is a defect in human nature, a built-in waywardness that comes from mankind’s natural rebellion against God. I am not preaching now, just trying to give you an understanding of what makes you tick. But we each need to know that, in the end, we can find our answers only in a personal relationship with God.

Prayer:  Father God, It is useless to hide the real me from You. I pour out this day all my innermost thoughts and feelings, help me to know You more through Your Word, and to live according to Your will. In Jesus name. Amen.
