There are only two forces in battle for our soul.
God is a choice to serve or by default you are a slave to Satan.

think about it

Isn’t surrender kind of like wisdom. The more you get, the more you realize you don’t get it.

Am I arrogant in my surrender or humble.
Do surrender my all or just the part I want to, holding on to the baggage I most need to let go of.

Aren’t I putting my filter on his desires for me when I go to God with my expectations.

More to ponder.

I will discipline you, but with justice;
Why do you protest your punishment—
I kicked myself for my stupidity!
I was thoroughly ashamed of all I did in my younger days.’

What pump are you getting you fuel to live from, how much dirt is allowed.

God’s fuel is pure and has no damaging properties.
We allow compromise in our fuel (satin) and we don’t get the energy He wants us to live by.

Do I allow my struggles to strengthen me or weaken me.
If they strengthen me it is because my faith is in God.
If it weakens me I am allowing satin to win.
It is about my decision and perspective.
