If you love God-

Hold on to your 50% truth until it grows.

It will grow into a 75% truth.

Then into a 90% truth and so on.

When I was 20 years old half-of-me (50%) fully believed in God.

And half of me (50%) believed pleasure, peers and adventurous living was the path to happiness.

When I  was 40 years old the number grew to a 70% belief in God. He had more weight in my decisions, my thinking, and my direction.

Now that I’m older, I live like I have a 90% belief that God is real and true. And I am moving toward living like I have a 100% belief—meaning my mind, body, and will are in full submission to Him.

What is included in the remaining hold-out 10%?

I get anger and defensive.

I throw fits.

Fear can mess me up.

I want my way.

At times I fudge on the exact truth.

Some times inappropriate thoughts are allowed to linger.

I’m sarcastic.

I don’t care. I don’t feel like it.

And, I don’t want to.

I hold grudges.

I shut down.

I get stubborn 

And, I hold on to old baggage.

Close:

So if you live like you only have a 25% belief that there’s a God keep growing.

And if you live like you have a 50% believe there’s a God stay in the fight.

Because once you get to 75% there is so much more peace, rest and joy.

Prayer:

Father, help me to live like Jesus. And thank you for grace when I fail. Amen

Scripture:

“For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh.”      Gal. 5:17 (ESV)

P.S.  Jesus was the only human who carried his mind, body and will in perfect alignment (100% )with His God nature.
