Winning the battle…
Have you ever said to yourself, “I wish I could give up this
habit.”? The habit could be anything you believe is destructive to you because
it impairs you physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Followers of
Jesus soon learn that becoming a transformed person is not about giving up bad
habits; it is about giving up their rights to themselves. What we see and
experience as bad habits are witnesses to our declarations of independence. “I
am my own man! I can do what I want!” Following Jesus is about giving up our
independence, our self-will, and saying with Jesus in the Garden, “Not my will
but yours be done.” The battle over our destructive habits is fought and won
here. – Ron Friesen
