3 Things Disciples Need to Know About Following Jesus
- Disciples Take Note!
- 1. People Pleasing Is a Trap!
When you truly surrender your life to God, you are going to have to say goodbye to some people, places and things. God will refine you and test you.
When I am exhausted, it is a red flag to me that I’m striving to please someone other than God.
- 2. Show You Are Sorry! CHANGE!
Don’t be afraid to change. I’ve had to change my friends, the places I hang out & the things I do. I’ve changed my clothes, my attitude, my calendar. Seriously, people do not recognize me. I am a stranger here.
Change is hard but good. Every step has been against my human nature, and God has strengthened my every step. He will help you too! A lot of my prayers have been,
“Help! Grace! Mercy! Thank you! I Love You!”
God’s ways are different than ours. Don’t try to understand when He doesn’t make sense. If He tells you to do something, just trust Him. He has a good plan for your life! Old habits die hard. Change is good if it’s for God.
You are a new creation. Butterflies don’t crawl on the ground, Butterflies FLY!
- 3. Narrow is The Way! It is difficult to love some people.Pray for them and remember, their minds are darkened. God will give you grace to love them.
