In my last post, I shared that my relationship with God/Jesus needs improvement. So, I should just try harder, read more, pray more fervently, and beat my will into submission.
Yeah, right! That is a recipe for discouragement, failure, and deeper loss. Instead of trying to do the "hard" work of disciplining my natural tendencies and selfish nature, I need to do the "easy" work of killing it. There is no way to control it. It must be put to death!
Then, we ask Christ to give us a new self. He gives us His-self. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. Galatians 2:20.
