God is not finished with me. My identity is in Him. He has begun a good work and will carry it on to completion. I have never been so encouraged to allow the Holy Spirit to dig, dig, dig into my heart and get rid of the garbage. And I’ll be honest…the enemy and my flesh were not happy about it. It literally was that my spirit was willing but my flesh was weak. Some days, all I could ponder was that I must be doing something right because there wouldn’t be so much opposition to my healing. However my God is bigger than any of that. He carried me right through the discouraging times because He was rebuilding my heart through His sanctification process. About halfway through the bible study, my life verse became Galatians 2:20. “For I have been crucified with Christ and no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live in the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me.” I had memorized it several weeks earlier and then God began bringing it to me in every way imaginable. There is no more me; it’s Jesus and it’s going to stay that way through His sanctification. I am still here in the flesh as a responsible keeper of this body but I am now completely dependent on my Jesus and resting in His peace who loved and gave (past tense). Knowing everything that I would ever do, the victory in Jesus has already been won so “Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.” (Hebrews 10:23)
