You should know better by now. I'm outta here!" Thankfully, part of who He is is Faithful and Patient and Compassionate. So He works with me and in me to correct my view of Him--through His word, through good sermons, through this Blog, . . .<br /><br />Once in a while I find myself NOT reacting to a situation in a "natural" way, and later I rejoice when I realize what this means. It means that in that moment, I was yielded to Christ and He was expressing His thoughts and feelings through me. Whoo-hoo! <br /><br />The mystery of our salvation is that it is more than having our minds transformed; even more than being made into the likeness of Christ. It is Christ living in us. "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me."Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03268849975538109522noreply@blogger.com
