Here Are Three Times That
The Word "Self" Should Freely Utter From Our Mouths:
Selfless
Self-Surrendered
And
Self-Controlled!
Beloved,
If You Have Surrendered Your Self To Your Savior
Then There Is Less Self
And
Definitely More Of The Savior
And
Self-Control Becomes The "Savings-Card"
Notably In Constant Use!
Self-Consumed Dies
Self-Sufficiency Atrophies
Self-Serving Skips Town
And
Self-Aggrandizement Runs Away From Home
Because
Nobody Loves It!
As Committed-To-Christ Christians
We Must Live With That Hope Which Says:
"My Change Is Going To Come!"
This Is Possible
Because
The Lord Christ Has Purchased Us
New Character And New Clothing
Aka Internal Character And External Clothing
Aka Christ-Like Character
And
The Robe Of Christ's Righteousness!
This Is Big Doings
And
It Can Only Be Accomplished By
Our Cooperating With Christ
Through The Working Of The Holy Spirit
Who Assuredly Leads Us Into All Truth!
Dear Ones,
This Is Not A Work For The Faint-Hearted
The Fickle
Or The Fool Who Says In His Heart That
There Is No God!
Let Us Not Settle For "Easy Living"
And
Leave The Family Of God!
Anything Worth Having
Is Worth Laboring For!
Know This ...
The Stench Of Self
Will Never Waft Through The Portals Of Glory
But
The Heart For Christ Will Find Eternal Rest There!
Understand This ...
It's Time To Turn Brown Things White Through Christ
Since There's No Self-Cleaning For Christians!
Get At It ...
Indulge In Self-Examination Through The Holy Word
Aka The Lens Of The Lord!
Peace!
