Day 23

How we grow

Notes

God wants you to grow up ...many never do..stuck in perpetual spiritual infancy ..spiritual growth takes commitment and effort ..discipleship...you become what you are committed to
Half hearted commitment means drift, frustration and mediocrity ...or full commitment to worldly goals ...disappointment and bitterness
God's part and your part .. Need to make Christ like choices and depend on Holy Spirit to help you ...new ways of acting, new habits
Continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose
You can't work for salvation ..a work out is exercising your body not getting it. Holy Spirit works in
Change your autopilot ..change the way you think ...every behaviour is motivated by a belief and actions by attitude ..be careful how you think, your life is shaped by your thoughts
Fighting against autopilot is stressful and can be done for short times, but it will go back to set course ..let God transform you by changing the way you think ..spiritual renewal of thoughts and attitudes ...the mental shift is repentance
Immature thoughts are selfish and self centred ..babies are selfish ..own needs only
Start thinking maturely ..focus on others ..real love ...far more than creeds and convictions ..our deeds must be consistent with our convictions....Christianity is relationships and lifestyle rather than philosophy and religion

Notes

It is a complete life rethink!
