I’m reading a book called, The Blessed Life. It’s stretching me and helping me in different ways. Here’s something I read today that I wanted to pass on to you. (I’m being generous with the truth in this book.)

“The key to walking in the new nature, rather than the old one, is simply a matter of renewing the mind. ‘And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind’ (Rom. 12: 2). Mind renewal brings transformation. My new nature—the spirit man inside of me—wants to be generous, but I must learn to renew my mind in this area. I must come to trust that God will take care of me if I’m a generous giver. My old nature used to try to figure out how I could manipulate circumstances in my favor. Of course, that’s the attitude of a taker, not a giver. Selfishness tries to manipulate God or ‘make deals’ with Him where giving is concerned. But a liberal-hearted person gives quickly and generously.” -Robert Morris

Romans 12:2 speaks a powerful truth regarding all kinds of areas in my life. Have you discovered the same thing?

For God to continue to reshape my life, I’ve got to continue to allow Him to speak into my life. It’s one of the things I’m loving about reading through “What On Earth Am I Here For?” each day. It’s packed with God’s Word.
