“Take on an entirely new way of life—a God-fashioned life, a life renewed from the inside and working itself into your conduct as God accurately reproduces his character in you." (Eph. 4:22-24)
The “ desire to be a god shows up every time you try to control your circumstances, your future, or people around you. But you’re a creature; you will never be the Creator. God doesn’t want you to become a god; he wants you to become godly, taking on his values, attitudes, and character.” - Daily hope, Ptr. Rick Warren
Lord help us to depend on you always and to seek you first in all we do. Sometimes we are not aware that we are becoming selfish again. In difficult times, in pain, disappointment, despair, grief, may we remember that God doesn’t allow that without a greater purpose. Character over comfort. Life is expected to be hard. No heaven on earth. Take heart that God prepares us an eternity in heaven. I praise and love You Lord!
