The Cross

God has sparked a new encouragement in my heart this Easter. Although the celebration is past, I don’t ever want to forget His gift of grace. In Galatians 2:20 Paul reminds us we have been crucified with Christ, it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. Jesus took my old life and my sinful ways to the cross on that Good Friday. He freed me from those habits and thoughts and desires that were controlling me. Even though I have been forgiven, it is easy to forget that my old nature is gone, gone, gone. I’m sorry to say that I am sure that Christ has had trouble living in me. I want Him to show any area of my life that is not “new in Him.” I want Him to cleanse my thoughts and desires. I cannot do it on my own.

Prayer. Search me Oh God and reveal any wicked way in me. I want my life to please You only. Amen.
