Just Me.

That's just me. That's how I am...

But I am crucified with Christ "My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."

To someone familiar we speak "Cause you know me, that's how I get down!"

"That's how I am-

"That's my personality-

“You know how Virgos are-

-that's why I act this way!"

That's all well and good when we were living with our old self but once we let that old self die when we give our life to Christ, you have to let your excuses die too. You know the power of God is greater than any zodiac sign or personality type.

You know the power of God is greater than any zodiac sign or personality type.

Even when we go back there sometimes because let's face it we will from time to time (try to act like the person we were before God changed us) we have to be convicted and know how to autocorrect. We have to realize when our words and behavior needs to change to sound more like the one who saved us and transformed us. So everything we are is Christ, everything we speak is Christ even when we think people can't hear us. We should always be Christly.

We show people our good side on the job, at church, to strangers but do we do it to people we are most familiar with like our family, our friends, our selves? If we call ourselves a student of Christ saying “that's just me” after a blow up just doesn't cut it. If we say we are studying His word to get better saying harsh words as a joke just won't do. We have to catch ourselves when the old self starts to rise up and try to erase everything we are working to fix. The old self can ruin a relationship with a shrug of the shoulders, the old self can go on a judgmental tirade, the old self can put you back on the streets, the old self can leave you with shame and a bucket full of regrets. So why choose that old part of you? Why keep giving it life when you are made new? When people from your past try to tell you who you are dust away those comments and say that was the old me. Let the Glo up be real from the inside out.
