"All who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God."
(Romans 8:14)
Do you want to be be led by the Spirit of God?
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on
your own insight. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight
your paths."
(Proverbs 3:5)

The most wonderful secret of living a holy life does not lie in imitating
Jesus, but in letting the perfect qualities of Jesus exhibit themselves in my
human flesh. Sanctification is "Christ in you …" (Colossians 1:27). It is
His
wonderful life that is imparted to me in sanctification--imparted by faith as a
sovereign gift of God's grace. Am I willing for God to make sanctification as
real in me as it is in His Word?

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.
Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the
past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than
successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than
appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company ... a church
... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the
attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change the inevitable. The
only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our
attitude ... I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me, and 90% how I
react to it. And so it is with you ... we are in charge of our Attitudes.
