Is the Best Foot Your Putting Forward Your Own? Is It the Real You?

Sometimes believers attempt to make impressions that are way bigger than what truly is. Sometimes the reasons behind are a lot deeper rooted than we know. Many live behind the mask of pretense, prestige, and power because of fear, low self-esteem, and other personal issues.

Whatever the reason, it is the Lord’s desire to walk through the corridors of our wounded hearts so that He may put the spotlight of the Holy Spirit on them and overthrow the idols we’ve kept hidden for so long.

Since integrity doesn’t develop apart from a consistent resolve, there is a need for daily, ongoing transformation to be more like Him. I honestly haven’t always hit the mark of “integrity” but know that easy decisions never demand resolve. And just as victory is never accidental, neither is godliness. It is an everyday resolve to press forward one foot at a time – with determination.

Prayer: “Oh Lord, challenge me, convict me, change me so that every step I make will bring glory and honor to your Name.”

What is Your Garden of Life Producing?

A productive, healthy, and beautiful garden is the result of proper care on a continual basis.  It is not merely enough to maintain a garden when you feel like it, for behind its outer beauty, much activity is occuring.  While new flowers are springing forth and roots are re-establishing, with each growth spur, there are constant intruders trying to infiltrate its space.  These invaders are part of the community and although they co-habit, they are very harmful to the augmentation and progression of its inhabitants.  Weeds, unhealthy vines, unwanted twigs, and wild flowers can be annoying neighbors, and if not detected and uprooted early, will choke the life out of your garden. Our life is a garden and what we allow to co-habit with us determines our expansion. Our heart is like the soil; this is the place where the Seeds of Life are sown. Therefore, it must cultivated and watered continually in order for increase to take place. Healthy growth will never spring forth on hard, rocky soil because the sown seeds will never germinate and take root. What is your garden producing? Do people see growth and increase or do they simply see their old familiar, annoying neighbors?

Tilt your heart towards the SON!
