Inadequacy, Insecurity

We’re ever craving, to be loved;
Fish for compliments, approval;
Ever wanting to feel wanted;
So insecure, fear disapproval.

How to Live in Christ

Be daily dying, to myself
Putting on the LORD Jesus
To walk by faith, being faithful
Knowing You, are ever with us.

Renewing Our Mind

So how to set, our heart anew
To keep abiding in Jesus’ vine?
Not entrapped in carnal thoughts
Instead, be fixed on things divine.

Set Apart and Sanctified?

For now in Christ, it is our body
That is the temple, of the LORD
His Spirit, to dwell within us
Be dedicated, His glory poured.

Out of Control?

Not by our own efforts
Our flesh, cannot conquer
We need Jesus’ power
Without Him, we falter.

Self-Control

And as a branch, in His vine
Jesus tells us, keep abiding
To bear fruit, of God’s Spirit
His ‘Self-control’, He is providing.

Walk in the Spirit or Flesh?

For if ignoring, or ignorant
Of God’s truth and reality
We’re poorly armed in the fight
Against temptation, so face calamity.

Overcome Works of the Flesh

We daily crucify our flesh
As we abide, in Christ Jesus
Resolve to live, but by God’s Word
Assured God’s Spirit, is ever with us!

Our Battles are Won

For Jesus only, our Creator
Living in us, He can supply
His grace, ever sufficient
Simply trust Him, and abide.

He Fills My Cup

LORD God, fill my cup
In love chose to die
Living waters to give
That never runs dry.
