brother, i miss you.
Lately, i’ve been really striving for obedience with both the small and large things of life, in the midst of reading and discovering what it means to be a disciple of jesus. I’m learning that obedience is something we are all called to, to obey Jesus’ commands and teachings, and to apply them to our lives everyday. But ive realized that the strive for obedience is a tough one, obviously. Often, I fall short of some expectations I set for myself.
An important thing I’ve learned to remember while pursuing holiness and obedience, is to strive first for a better understanding of who I am according to our holy Father. It is through this emphasis in understanding who we are in christ that will give us the strength and authority to have victory over things that may seem impossible to have victory over. If we continue to abide in him, we are allowing him to transform our earthly selves, continuing the process of getting rid of the old, and being redeemed and restored.
I pray that you and I can continue this discovery of who it is that Christ calls us, that we can take the authority that Christ has given us, and embrace the truth of who we are in christ. I hope this encourages you in one way or another.
Love and peace, see you in a few.
