THE 31st OF MARCH
IF WE HAVE BEEN BORN AGAIN THROUGH THE SPIRIT, WE SHOULD LIVE BY THE SPIRIT
“And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.” – Galatians 5:24-25
When we make mistakes, instead of being overly critical of ourselves or becoming discouraged, we should thank the Lord for His guidance in helping us recognize our errors and improve. Rather than giving in to our fleshly nature, we reject its impulses and replace them with actions aligned with God’s Word.
As we continue to follow the Holy Spirit’s leading, we grow in His strength. We find ourselves becoming less prone to anger, quicker to calm down, and less easily offended. Forgiveness comes more naturally, and we experience a deeper sense of peace. Over time, living in the Spirit becomes our way of life, allowing His presence to bring us lasting calm and joy.
SUGGESTED PRAYER
Dear Lord Jesus, You endured great suffering on the cross for our sins because of Your immense love for us. In response to Your sacrifice, we desire to put to death the desires of our flesh with the help of the Holy Spirit.
To truly live for You, we must overcome the weaknesses of our human nature and follow the Spirit’s leading. Thank You, Lord, for Your grace and guidance. All glory and honor belong to You. Amen
