How to live a guilt free life....???


"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." Galatians 2:20

This came to me as I was reading in Galatians this morning. Hope it helps provide some insight into your life.

At some point in our lives we must realize that our own musings will take us down a path that will lead to total destruction. We have this amazing gift as Christians of Christ living in us and yet we have this pull that takes us away from Him. Why do we snap in traffic? Over spend our money? Watch too much TV? Snap at our spouses? It is because we don't truly acknowledge the one that lives inside us. We are stuck in this mode where we feel like we have to be in control After all, for the most part we control nothing in this world. Job loss, death in the family, or the way we are treated by others. What we can control is our relationship with Christ. If we were to wake up every morning and spend time with Him and ask him to guide in our relationships, jobs, and personal challenges we will win. We have the greatest compass ever made in the whole spirit, but we seldom take it out to see what direction we are going in.

If I let go, and let God, I can begin to live free from the worldly things that grip me. My own weaknesses will cease because the God living in me will provide insight, wisdom, and comfort that I need.
