Learning to Be True to the God In You

 Romans 12:2

Don't be like the people of this world, but let God change the way you think. Then you will know how to do everything that is good and pleasing to Him. (CEVDCI)

I've learned lately that what we put out there will come back to us. As a believer of Christ one of the main things I want to do is be obedient to His will.  

Being transparent, one of the things I struggle with the most is trying to stay connected to things that God is trying to release me from. I would be so conflicted on why certain things kept happening repeatedly, and it was because I was holding on to what I wasn't suppose to have. Sometimes we think things are for us, but in all reality that very thing is working against us. 

Many times God reveals to us what is not for us and yet and still we find ourselves running into the same situation with different people. We attract what we desire, even when it's a desire that means us no good. 

The scripture tells us in Romans chapter 12 vs 2 Don't be like the people of the world. In the King James version it says "be not conformed to the world. " Conformed meaning to comply with rules and standards of others. Many times we have to change who we are as the body of Christ to fit the environment of our surroundings. I know for myself, I've been in situations where I felt like I had to be like the environment, although it meant loosing myself. Have you ever lost yourself trying to please others? I like the King James version for another break down because with "conformed"  the "ed" means past tense. I love the way God lines it up because He's letting us know, I already know what you've done, I've seen what you've been connected to, but I like the next part, "be ye transformed" reminding us that you can be changed by God, "by the renewing of your mind" change the way you think. Allow God to work inside of you, and watch the actions of your thoughts line up!

How can you be true to the God in You:

1. Accept that God is changing you. Allow Him to change your heart - Psalms 51:10

2. Stay Connected to people who see's your purpose, but doesn't try to control your destiny. -Isaiah 57:10

3. Deny your fleshly self. Be willing to receive more of Him and less of what you see in the mirror. I Corinthians 11:1

One of the things I love about having a relationship with Christ is, it's a daily walk. You learn and grow the more you stay connected to Him in prayer. Surrounding yourself with positive things, and people. 

I pray that you continue to allow God to do a New Thing in your life, as you press towards the mark of the high calling which is in Christ Jesus - Philippians 3:13-14

I love you, but God loves you so much more!

Until next time
