“Often we don’t see growth because we’re not very diligent about renewing our minds… Abide in Him. Abide in the Word. Renew your mind. Hide God’s Word in your heart. Fight with spiritual weapons. Carry your thoughts captive to the truth. And walk by the Spirit.”

Thank you ~ very good reminder of what is really important.
Amen, Senkyoushi.
So often I pray for God to change me in certain areas, yet He has given these as a means to change. He wants me to actively do these things, not just sit back passively and wait for Him to do it.
