Words for Life--Every Day Life

So many times in life (as life changes) there are scrary times.  Times when you can either run away from (or try too) the change or you can face it.  When I say "face it" I don't mean alone but with the help of friends (true friends) and the presence of God's Holy Spirit.  I can run but I cannot hide! 


Scripture: Luke 6:47 (MSG)  These words I speak to you are not mere additions to your life, homeowner improvements to your standard of living. They are foundation words, words to build a life on.

Observation: Jesus speaks words that are the foundation for my life--or atleast should be.
Application: I read the Bible, I see the words that are printed there, but sometimes they don't touch me, or maybe I don't want to be touched. It is hard to determine the answer--it is even harder to be honest about it
Jesus speaks words of life that touch every important aspect of life and if I open my heart to them then my heart will be softened so that my life can absorb the words of life.
The result is I will be transformed into the image of God.
Prayer: Lord, I pray that my heart will be softened and that I can be honest with you and myself, so that I might be changed into what you would have me to be. I pray your will is done in my life, so that I may become like you. Thanks for loving me, Stephen

Yieldedness: I will strive to open my tough skin to the words of life.
