"I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily." - 1st Corinthians 15:31
Its 10 days into 2011 and I bet you have already lost some battles that you said you weren't going to lose; You made some resolutions that you have already giving in to. You might feel as though your year is going to be a bad year because of the decisions you have already made but I am here to tell you that the devil is a lie!
You cannot let a few days into the new year determine the rest of the year. Yeah you might have took another drink, smoked again, went back to the club, slept with an ex or old friend but you know; if you are reading this letter then you still can be forgiven. Do you know why you haven't got over your sinful ways?? Its because you have not receive total deliverance and allowed God into your life 100%.
You cannot hold on to old feelings, old people, old environments and expect yourself to not fall into temptation. You have to admit that you are weak and your relationship with God is not where it needs to be. Yeah you said you were going to make a lot of changes going into 2011; but you cannot change until your mindset changes and you have to have enough faith to take a leap into a new direction.
You have to realize what you are lacking/where you are lacking to step into the new YOU. If you really want 2011 to be your year then you are going to have to sacrifice and put up a fight. Stop making excuses for yourself, saying that you aren't strong enough to change or let go, or your life is a living hell so it doesn’t matter. Yes, it does matter my friend.
You are a child of God. Stop listening to the negative people in your life. You do not have to put up with negativity. The drama lifestyle isn't a lifestyle that you should be living. You shouldn’t have to fight and argue everyday. That is not love. So, my friend it is time to KILL the old YOU and YOUR past!! Let it go! I know its easier said than done but how much longer are you going to keep putting up with the same thing?? Its old news!! Be made brand new!!
If you truly want better then you will do better. To kill your flesh is to put it under subjection, to gain a will power, to fight and trust that God will supply your every need. Get rid of the emotional draining attachments. Come out of that dreadful pain. Feel refresh and new. I want you to be able to breathe again and smile knowing that everything is going to be alright. = )
My friend, God loves you and so do I. I am praying for you and I ask that you do the same for me. I am in this fight with you. My life isnt all glamorous or easy but I am not dwelling on my problems. I am giving my all to fixing them with the amazing help of my Saviour Jesus Christ. Lets keep moving forward. This is our year!!
P.U.S.H.- Pray. Until. Something. Happens.
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service." -Romans 12:1
