Seed for April 15

All the religion, sacrifice, rituals will not make me one bit better than the Lord Jesus has made me. I am a new creation by His own power, by His own will. The good work He has begun in me, He is well able to complete! My boasting is in Him, in what is has done and what He continues to do in my life. I use to be religious (of the strictest sect) but found religion to be a hard taskmaster. Religion was trying to make me into a better person, from the outside, when all along only the power of God can change a man from the inside out. Religion looks on the outside things trying to change us, but God sees the heart. Once you change the heart, the whole man is changed. Thank God for His power living in me, that changed the whole man from the inside out. Let Jesus live in you and present your body a living sacrifice to do His will in this "little piece of clay" as it is done in heaven.
