1 John 2:5b-6 “This is how we know we are in Him: Whoever claims to live in Him must walk as Jesus did.”
Lord, I cannot walk the path of the hypocrite. I am Yours. You have purchased and forgiven my pathetic sinful soul with Your precious blood. If I confess that to You and before others, I cannot live like the Devil.
Lord, You do not transport us to heaven the moment we are saved because our purpose is to win others to You by the way we live our lives. I was deceitful, arrogant, rebellious, prideful, and lazy before I gave my life to You. I still digress for short periods of time I know, but Your Spirit convicts me so I can confess and repent. I know I am Yours because You will not leave me alone in my sin.
This short verse is such a short command: walk as Jesus did. However; without You, Lord, that is impossible because:
In myself I am: In You I am:
Selfish Self-less
Arrogant Humble
Unloving of others/ Judgmental Love unconditionally
Deceitful Truthful
Lazy Industrious
Unforgiving and bitter Forgiving and Free
Easily angered Longsuffering and have Joy
Impatient Patient
Rotten Good
And the list goes on and on. Thank You again, Lord, for Your unspeakable gift and for loving me when I didn’t love You!
