Believing in his promises, his stength and our need. It hit me the other day the 1st commandment of the new testament if you can call it that.
"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. ' The second is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself. ' There is no other commandment greater than these"
Mark 12: 30-31
The definition strength is a tangable statement. It takes strength to control your reactions your emotions and your"sin" to be a light in this world. To love God enough to choose to react differently, to allow him to change you to allow him into those places we want to hide. To desire change to recognise the true cost....
I'm humbled by this and now lost in contemplation of what that looks like as an application in my life. Where I need to apply it 1st. Or where/how I need to seek his strength to move forward.
By his desire, by his path by his grace and mercy.
