Taking Inventory
June 10, 2007 · Filed Under All Entries, HE Speaks
“Don’t you know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?”
I Corinthians 3:18
All believers have God in their heart. But not all believers have given their whole heart to God. Remember, the question is not, how can I have more of the Spirit? But rather, how can the Spirit have more of me? Take inventory. As you look around your life, do you see any resistant pockets?…Go down the list…
Your tongue. Do you tend to stretch the truth? Puff up the facts? Your language? Is your language a sewer of profanities and foul talk? And grudges? Do you keep resentments parked in your “garudge”? Are you unproductive and lazy? Do you live off the system, assuming that the church or the country should take care of you?…
Do your actions interrupt the flow of the Spirit in you life?

I have more than one resistant pocket in my life. I know that accepting Christ as one’s personal savior is not enough to glorify God. God must have his Lordship in one’s life as well.
Knowing that fact and living it up are two separate thing. One must be ready to surrender his ambitions and aspirations so that the Spirit can flow freely in one’s life.
I am just not ready.

God wants us to be more like him. For people to see Him in us. We are all in the process of becoming that, because since we have accepted God, we have trusted our lives to him and we can be assured that he will do his part in shaping us to be the masterpiece he had formed us to be. It’s all gonna happen in his time.

likewise here kapatid. my ambitions sometimes contradicts that of what God wants of me. In my life pare, I have given up so many ambitions just to follow his will and I can say, I have no regrets because looking at hindsight, I saw the purpose of it all.
Pax et Bonum.

Well I am not really a religious person and I always believe that it is you that makes your own self or shape by your own destiny.
