Perhaps you are looking at who you are in the natural right now, and thinking this is not who you want to be. One thing that is so awesome about serving God is not only can we have a dramatic change of direction through salvation, our life continually can grow and change. We don’t have to continually do the same things over and over. We can make improvements. The biggest factor in changing is in choosing to renew our mind. Renewing your mind means that we make a choice to change the way we think. If we take every thought captive as the Bible tells us to do, we might be doing that very often. We might have some faulty thinking going on! To change that, we need to renew our mind, and begin to think and believe like what the Word of God tells us to do. To renew our mind means we take what we believe and make it line up with the Word. Past experiences, or what someone else has told you, can shape who we are. To change to be who God wants us to be, we must make our beliefs and thoughts conform with the word of God. Say this with me…. I am renewing my mind and am putting on the new man, which is created in righteousness and true holiness. I am putting off the old man, and becoming who God has made me to be. I keep the Word of God in my mouth and in my heart, so my way is prosperous, and I have good success! I hope that encourages you as we start a new year!!!
