That just cuts right to the truth! A truth I need to GET! I am all about performance...trying so hard to be good enough. And in doing that I am being disrespectful to the cross.

I think my flesh is resisting and my spirit too because I am scared of being out of my comfort zone.

Yes! And even though that transforming process was difficult, because I couldn't quickly grasp the problem and see the Lord's purposes, He did not leave me stranded. He sent friends to blog Scripture and help. He gave you a special call to pray for me this week. I can't thank you enough for your powerful prayers!<BR/><BR/>I just can't believe how much more free I feel having gone through my study and seeking this past week. Free to be open! Free to love where I couldn't love! Am I done? No way!!<BR/><BR/>Yes, Christ's saving work is the salvation that brings eternal life. "Working out my salvation with fear and trembling," is what I need to daily focus on--giving Him my life with complete abandon, knowing that His word is Truth and He really does want me to live more freely.<BR/><BR/>Thank you, dear friend, for your prayerful focus and challenge!Sue J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08668691234427771146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-929543254325457611.post-36490881442149585512008-09-26T14:09:00.000-07:002008-09-26T14:09:00.000-07:00Is not it easier to do and fix?

OUCH....I'm so glad that God just loves me so much that he desires for me to see myself as he sees me (all the pick-me's, good job,nice meal, ect.)are not what he wants. He wants all of me! I wish so that I could be that little girl, that puts the sparkle in his eye. Some days I feel so close and then others so far away. I pray that he would continue to mold me into the vase that will hold flowers in heaven for him, with out all the cracks. To have him hold you and to know that you are home...what a wonderful day that will, beyond our imagination...More of him is my prayer today..<BR/>Thank-You for such a great post...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-929543254325457611.post-65862461131807194292008-09-26T11:46:00.000-07:002008-09-26T11:46:00.000-07:00This was just AWESOME!

So many times our performance is wrapped so tight around who we are that the two are looked at as interchangable, but it should be all about who we are in Christ and what He can do through us.
