But let's stand back and SUM THIS UP. If you just give something up, you leave a void, a 'hole; in your life. NOT the way to go! Rather, we need to give up the self-centered man, how? - BY PUTTING ON THE NEW SPIRITUAL MAN of righteousness and holiness.
• So first WE CHOOSE to do this
• Then we TRUST GOD to perform this in our lives, according to the Ephesians verse above! WE can't do it - but HE can!!
This is both a decision and an attitude of heart and life towards our Lord - which you can start, or modify, TODAY! It's my earnest prayer that you WILL!!!

I will say that I had started, but I know mine personally still needs some modifying. I have personally seen the great works of the Lord. I must add that when I have prayed to the Lord to show me things, that I am sure he has.. however.. I do not believe I had allowed my heart, eyes and ears to be wide open.. why? because the fleshly side of me did not want to give up 100% total control to him..
I am enjoying my King James version of the bible. I read the whole book of James this morning and I read the annotations at the bottom of each page.. powerful, powerful stuff! I want to get an amplified version of the Word to now have that to relate to.
Praying you and the Mrs. are doing better.
