Joy fills my heart. If you’re a born again child of God it fills yours continually too. All the fruit of the Spirit as described in Galatians 5:22-23 reside within us to empower us. It’s our responsibility to mine the precious gifts that God has given us to not only affect our own lives and situations but also to affect the lives and situations of those around us.  Greater is He that resides within you than He that is in the world (1 John 4:4). And He comes with gifts.

Quitting is not an option for the born again believer who finds his or her strength in the Word of God. Sure life may be tough. Sure we may feel disoriented. But quitting, especially when the creator of heaven and earth is our Father should, never be an option. Question: When did God quit and give up on you? Personally, I was a great sinner.

Become a new creature in Christ Jesus (Romans 10:9-10). If you’re a Christian, identify yourself with Christ and understand that it’s impossible to be a sinner saved by grace.

Seeking Jesus and becoming more like Him is a never-ending, life long pursuit. The things of God aren’t just plopped down in our laps. If we want to be “disciples indeed“, the truths revealed in God’s Word must be pursued. Countess times in scripture we see verses that talk about the benefits of seeking after God. Victorious Christian living is not the default result of being born again. If we want to see the hand of God move mightily in our lives, the ways of God and the blessing He has stored up for us must be mined daily.
