"I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statues, and you will be careful to observe my ordances." (Ezekiel 36:27)
We have a distinct advantage in walking in the ways of the Lord if we have the Holy Spirit within us. If you have Jesus in your heart, you have the Holy Spirit too. How else can we filter out the ways of the world that get thrown at us 24/7, not to mention the desire of our flesh?
"Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh." (Ezekiel 36:26)
How awesome it is to be connected with the God of Creation and His limitless loving heart. If more people resonated in the loving heart of God, we would live in a world filled with God's beauty. Forgiveness and humility would be everyone's #1 priority. People would rush to serve each other, deferring to one another because the greater one, would be a servant of all. Look at the life of Jesus. Before He endured Calvary, he washed the disciples feet. What a powerful statement!
When was the last time you washed someone else's feet? When was the last time you served another? Giving of yourself should be a constant affair. None of us are perfect, except Jesus, so at times we get tired of serving. Tired of taking abuse and forgiving, but we've got to continue, we've got to endure. Why? That's what Jesus did and God is removing the dross from our lives through the trials we endure.
When we take ourselves out of the equation and keep our heads down, it's much easier. Our lives become more peaceful. I'm not saying that we shouldn't be the best that God made us to be, I'm saying be the best is a servant.
With His heart and His Spirit within us, is the only way we can accomplish His will.
