So tonight I have been thinking about surrendering to God's will~

But how do you know what God's will is? It is something I have struggled with. Then God showed me just how easy it is to know what His will is in my life~

1. I have to actually ASK Him what His will is in my life~ Go to God in prayer and ASK
2. Then I need to LISTEN~ God doesn't usually speak to us out loud
Instead, God tends to speak to us through our "conscious", through what we read,
through friends, sometimes even through strangers.
3. After that I need to do what He has told me to do. ACTION
4. Then go back to God in prayer to make sure I stay on the narrow path of His will.

I don't know what God's will is for me tomorrow~ I know what it is tonight. I know that I have to listen to the Holy Spirit when He speaks to me so that I am able to stay in God's will...

This whole being a Christian thing~ it isn't easy. God asks a lot of us~ we need to surrender to Him, be obediant to His word, and follow a narrow path. I finally after years of bible reading, going to church, and all that~ FINALLY I am getting it. To not be OF this world just to be in it~

I need to live in such a way that those outside the faith see there is something “different” about me. When we walk in LOVE~ when we do as God has instructed us~ there is no way that others could mistake us as being part of this world we live in. They will know we are set apart fro the world.

I still struggle~ by no means am I there yet. I still deal with things of the flesh. Wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony are still part of who I am. However I continue to go to God and work on these...

God's will is that I overcome all of these and live in the light of His word!
