This journey of becoming like Christ has revealed things in me that I never expected and I find myself doing things that I wouldn't normally do.
The more Christ teach me to live His way, I see less and less of what I thought was undeniable me, and more and more of who I am supposed to be. It is not easy to recognize that new me, and there are times the process is very painful, and misunderstood.
I worry less and less how I will explain changes in me, and more and more I see myself, with courage that can only come from God, allowing God to just have His way and proudly saying "it is God in me".
I use to worry that others would think of me that I am trying to be more spiritual and holier than they. I would worry that they would respond in mild disgust that I am mentioning God again.
However, no more. I like this new me. More courageous to live for God and represent Him, but not being arrogant at what God accomplishes through me. How can I! It is His work in me.
I don't have to worry about becoming arrogant, because my focus is on Him, and He is in me, and He opposes the proud.
The new me surprises me daily, and I like it. Keep doing your work in me God. I like what you are creating.
What is God creating in you?
