Evidence of change…

Jump to Comments

Sometimes its hard to keep track of the transformation and the work that God does on our lives. I sat down to think how He has worked in my life and I find myself wowed by the insane changes and blessings that he’s decided carry out in my life… Some of these evidences are tangible, I can point to some incredible things that I can touch and that point to His love, His existence, my relationship with Him, etc. But perhaps the most telling is the change within, the change that He’s made in my heart… I thought “Why do I want to help do such and such?, or where does this drive to serve come from?” or “how come I don’t struggle with such and such anymore?”… Anyways… it hit me hard. He really changed me, like, He’s changed my desires, my thoughts, its crazy.

These verses in Romans 8 struck me…

5Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires 9You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. 10But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness. 11And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.
