"It is reliance on Him for His life and His power. By faith we renounce any confidence in our own wisdom, willpower, and moral strength and rely completely on Him to supply the spiritual wisdom and power we need." We rely on Him to enable us. (The Transforming Power of the Gospel, Jerry Bridges)
I do not just sit back and wait for things to happen. I walk in light of what Christ has for me. Its often that I do not understand the path that I'm on but I remind myself that He does. And He gently reminds me also, by reassuring me that He does know and that He gives me everything that I need to walk by faith in His light with His knowledge of each of my days, in all that goes on in my life, with my family and friends.
All this came about when I began to reflect on how I live my life despite all that has happened and will happen in it. It isn't me....it's Christ through me that is living this life. I'm so thankful that I do not walk alone in this world. I'm so happy that I recommit my life to Him moment by moment, daily whispering to Him how I need Him. I think I would have a hard time living life without relying on Him.
