As we age, we change. Things we may have once found enjoyable no longer hold their appeal. Instead of these old ways, we find new passions and purposes. The same should be true as we become more spiritually mature. We should leave behind old ways and temptations as we move closer to God and His will in our lives!
There are times when we may still be tempted, but we need to remember that as followers of Jesus Christ, we are new beings! Our acceptance of salvation through Jesus means that we try to do better and be better people. We try to move on from the passions and desires that will lead us away from God so we can continually move closer to Him. With God and Jesus Christ as our focus, we can become passionate in serving Him, showing love, and growing God's Kingdom now and forever!
Move on from temptations and become a new being in Jesus Christ!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for redeeming me and giving me passion for You and sharing Your love and forgiveness. Help me to always be focused on You and Your eternal Kingdom. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
