“Pride of the heart is always associated with ignorance of God. It is the light of God that discovers our darkness and destitution.” – Review and Herald, Feb. 9, 1897
“We are called by Christ to come out from the world and to be separate. We are called to live holy lives, having our hearts continually drawn out to God, and having in our lives the Holy Spirit as an abiding presence. Every true believer in Christ will reveal that the grace of His love is in the heart. Where once there was estrangement from God, there will be revealed copartnership with Him; where once the carnal nature was manifest, there will be seen the attributes of the divine.” -Review and Herald, Aug. 19, 1909

True religion and spirituality changes the life and heart of a person. We no longer want to be the same, but we strive for something better through the power of Jesus Christ. We realize we cannot do it on our own. Time and time again we fail; it can be frustrating. You want to go in one direction but as Paul said, you do the opposite. On our own, we are weak. If only we could realize His power is enough to overcome.
It doesn’t matter how many times you fall, what is important is that we are willing to stand up again. This takes humility and courage. This journey is only for the humble and brave. If we are willing, He extends His hand to us.
With our permission, He changes our hearts and all things are made new.
Conversion means change. Without change we deny the power of Him who overcame everything, even death.
Praise God that His grace and His power is greater than our sin and need.
Although my memory’s fading, I remember two things very clearly. I’m a great sinner and Christ is a great Savior.-John Newton
