Identity Hey!
It’s a new year and I have a question.
Do you have a better handle on who you are and where your life is headed
than you did at this time last year?
Maybe that’s not important to you,
and that’s ok, but if that question finds you pondering then here are some
suggestions.
First, look to God for
answers. Because it is God who made both
you and the ultimate destination toward which your life is headed.
Second, subdue your passions. Because the power of raging wants and
desires, loves and hates, regrets and sorrows can re-route your heart to pursue
a false heading.
Third, be discerning of friend’s
advice, even good friends. Because while
friends can indeed be good counsel, they nevertheless view the questions you
ponder from the point of view of their own heading.
Fourth, watch out for that long
black train. Because the ways of the Devil are subtle, capable of subverting
your best efforts and intentions.
Finally, take Jesus as your daily
guide and friend. Cling to the Father
and his holy name. Because there truly is Victory in the Lord.
Affirmation Here’s a basic affirmation
package that might help, when you have time.
