"spiritual salvation for so many of us is only the beginning of a hard battle. While we are forgiven and in right standing with God we still have to work out how to live for Christ daily. For those of us with deep scars, this involves intentionally releasing ourselves to God fully, jettisoning the bad patterns of behavior from our past, and renewing our minds with truth. Doing this allows us to live free from the bondage to our past sinful thinking and be able to fully participate in God's work for us today. Our prayer is that you will continue to pursue this incredible freedom and not be stalled by believing the enemy's lies that your past, and sometimes even your present, prevents your from living life fully for Christ."
Praise God for His unchanging Word that renews us daily for the battle, both with our own bodies and the darkness that surrounds us. What hope we have in Christ for motivation to move forward--onward and upward!!
