My power and my strength come from the LORD, and he has saved me. (Psalms 118:14 CEV)
Look how God loves us. From the lifeless dusts of the earth, He held us in His powerful hands and formed us. He gave us life. He imparted us His strength. He gave us the power to live and create. That was when He created our temporal bodies. What is more significant is when He created us anew, spiritually. We became partakers of His grace, mercy and, glory. But we have to partake also in His sufferings, death, and resurrection. We have to suffer in the flesh, deny our carnal desires and lusts of this world. Before, we were created from the earth and desired earthly things. But now, we realize we are spirit beings, not of the flesh, but of the spirit of God that we should desire spiritual things. Die in the flesh and live in the spirit! The Spirit conquers all. Christ did and so shall we. Carry your cross and conquer it!
