Steps to Jesus
they lose confidence in themselves and wonder if they are sincere.
They feel that God cannot accept them. But they must not lose hope.
We all need to understand the value of willpower. The power of
choice is the ruling power in life. Everything depends on the right
use of this power. God has given the power of choice to each person,
and it is theirs to use. We cannot change our hearts. We cannot by
ourselves give our love to God. But we can
choose
to serve Him.
We can give Him the powers of our mind. Then He will help us
choose the right way. Our whole being will be guided by the Spirit
of Christ. We will love God, and our thoughts will be like His.
It is right that we should desire to be good and to be holy. But
we must not stop there. These desires will not help us. Many people
will be lost while hoping and desiring to be Christians. They do not
come to the place where they yield the powers of the mind to God.
[45]
They do not
choose
to be Christians.
An entire change may be made in our lives through the right use
of the power of choice. When we put ourselves on God’s side, He
gives us His great power to hold us. By giving ourselves to God
each day we will be able to live a new life, the life of faith.
[46]
