And He Walks With Me...and He Talks With Me...

     Resolutions...Smezzalutions!!! Here I go, once again, writing about them. See...the thing is, it IS the time of the year that loads of folks make them, then...shortly, thereafter, BREAK- them. I feel that this, is, simply, because, often, the things we wish to 'give up', e.g. certain foods we love, excessive, use of the Internet, etc. or, integrate, into our lives, i.e. more exercise, saving more $$$, etc., in an attempt to 'improve' ourselves', are things, which, although, we, truly, enjoy them, we feel we need temper, for 'physical'-self-improvement' and, NOT so much for the betterment of Spiritual-self. Now, if, in our resolve to be 'better', we choose to walk a bit, closer, to Christ, and, rely on His assistance to succeed in our attempt(s) at improving ourselves, it is my, firm, belief, that we would realize a better outcome for our 'effort(s)'. For, I, also, accept the reality that The Holy Spirit has the power to help us, as believers, in our Spiritual-Growth; For, God's Word says, He is able to 'strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner-being.' ~ (Eph. 3:16 NIV) So, as we begin a new year, perhaps, resolving to be more 'Christ-like' can come with more optimal-result; Because, the Spirit will help us as we seek to walk, more humbly, with God. ~ 'He who has the Holy Spirit as his resource has already won the victory.' ~ Anon ~ Just Sayin'...
