“Do not be arrogant, but tremble.” We need a rally of humility that motivates us to remove everything within us that in anyway hinders what Christ wants to do and prepares the way for the Lord to have His way in us. Humility’s worth fighting for!

Pride and entitlement are never the result of grace. Grace produces awe, trembling, and poverty of spirit that comes from the conscious awareness of Christ gloriously living in you.

Grace puts you in the fight of faith. Without it you are powerless. I want to pursue the risen Jesus as the Dove flies by following and obeying the Holy Spirit every day.

If Christ is living in you, it’s by the grace of God’s grafting you into the Vine of His presence. You didn’t (and still don’t) earn or deserve His presence. Now you need keep the free gift that is in you stirred up and continually fight the good fight of faith by always resisting and seeking to remove any thought, feeling, desire, or opinion in you that in any way hampers how Jesus wants to freely flow and have full control within you. A world that looks to human leaders needs to see people who are led by the living Jesus, not by desires, feelings, thoughts, or opinions.

God’s grace
Doesn’t erase
Or replace
Our need
To seek His face.

Lord, make me aware
Of your might.
Give me insight
To resist and fight
Everything in me
That impedes
What you want to do.
