Ephesians 3:17 (NIV)
17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through
faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,
Experts have told us that society is sick. Their solutions
have treated human frailty with infusions of low-income housing, welfare
payments, integrated education, and psychological conditioning. But we are
learning that this is not the total answer. The world does need changing,
society needs changing, the nation needs changing, but we never will change it
until we ourselves are changed. And we never will change until we look into the
mirror of our own soul and face with candor what we are inside. Then freely
acknowledge that there is a defect in human nature, a built-in waywardness that
comes from man’s natural rebellion against God. I am not preaching now, just
trying to give you an understanding of what makes you tick. But I also expect
to show you that, in the end, you can find your answers only in a personal
relationship with God.
Thought for today:
Do I falsely believe that I have to “clean up” to present myself to God?
