grace covered, full of hope.

striving for holiness is not so much of an action, but a state of the heart. i’ve realized in my own life that i must walk away from and put an end to the nasty habits in my outer self if i want to change [not just feel sorry for myself for being a failure]. i begin to walk in truth; the truth of the Bible, the words that Jesus said in the book of John, and I feel my countenance begin to change. i become more of who i want to be and less of who i was before reading it. and my prayer life changes too. the things i always prayed about before suddenly become alive in my Spirit and i can’t stop speaking out to God about them. He listens and responds, sometimes with yes’s, other times with no’s, other times He is just telling me to stop talking and worrying and just wait. and when i choose to obey Him, really obey Him, my heart is changed. my holy agenda is to bless God, bless His people, but mostly to bless God. i can do that for Him because He’s set the example for me.
