Sometimes I think we work too hard at being Christians and not hard enough at letting Christ work through us. Are we more concerned about others seeing us as good Christians rather than others seeing Christ and not us? Are we obedient because God's will is alive in us or is it because we think He will love us more? By ourselves we could never be Christian enough or obedient enough, but through Christ's death we have been cleansed! By surrendering our will to God, He can work wonders through us, He removes the pressure to perform and gives us a desire to just serve Him. Take some time today and think about what you are working hard at, trying to cleanse yourself or surrendering your will to God.
Isaiah 1:18 NIV
18 “Come now, let us settle the matter,” says the Lord. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.
