1 Cor. 6:19     Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself,  for God bought you with a high price.

The truth… I can’t change myself… for long.  I can create change for a period of time but eventually I get tired and I revert back to the real me.

The truth… Because I am a Christ-follower, God’s Holy Spirit makes His home in my soul.

I don’t have to change.  I don’t have to work on it.  He does all the changing for me… from the inside out… IF (and this is a BIG IF) I will simply submit to the Holy Spirit within me and live in a relationship with Him moment by moment.  After all… I’m His house and He will clean out what needs to be cleaned out IF I will only allow Him.

My Prayer:

Holy Spirit, I admit that I can’t change myself.  I have tried and the results have been disappointing.  I can’t do it.  But I know you live within me.  I know you will change me if I will simply daily live with you and daily walk with you moment by moment.  I am going to talk with you today.  I am going to ask you to lead me today.  I am going to listen.  I am going to follow.  I am going to Your Words of life in scripture and I will listen to you today.
