GOD CAN USE ANY SITUATION TO OUR ADVANTAGE OR TO TEACH US SOMETHING, EVEN WHEN WE DON'T SEE IT. Whether you are a blood-washed, Spirit-filled Christian saved at a young age or a week ago, this spiritual journey is not for the faint of heart. As followers of Christ, we must crucify our flesh. Dying to self is often a painful process that yields excellent fruit if we allow the Holy Spirit to increase as our fleshly desires decrease. Though our Christian walk is individual, we share a commonality: each day, our spirit wars against our flesh, so you are not alone. Look past the trials and allow the grace of God to light up the darkness.
