Put To Death Your Old Desires; Allow Jesus To Live In And Through You

Dear faithful readers, I would like to talk about "Putting to Death Our Old Desires and Allowing Jesus to Live In and Through Us"!

From the book of Galatians 2:20, it says, "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."

I'm sure many of us have old habits and old desires that prevents us from living righteously for God. I used to have plenty of old desires, such as wasting my time playing computer games, surfing the web to restricted areas, allowing my pride to stand in front of me, cheating during a test, and even lying to the people around me. Honestly, I was happy doing all those, but then I realized that these were all wrong! These things that I was doing were making me sway and furthering my relationship with God! I soon decided to take a step of faith and plunge into living righteously!

Today, I'm a much better person, in fact it was God who changed me step by step! I kept telling myself, that if I love somebody, I would obey that person. How about God? If I love God, I should obey God too! It isn't easy to change in one night, it takes time and obedience and faithfulness and strength to change through the seasons!

If you're caught in any areas of your life that is devastating your relationship with God, I strongly urge you to pray about it, talk to a much mature Christian, and believe that God can heal you through! Since He did it for mine, I'm sure He can change your life too! It's time to turn over a new leaf!

In conclusion, I encourage you to put to death your old desires and allow Jesus to live in and through you! =)
