When you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. But what fruit were you getting at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? The end of those things is death. But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. -- Romans 6:20-23.
Let us not walk in the Old man nature that is so easily taken up. Let us truly become who you have destined us and set us out to be. Show us the reality of our freedom and let us accept and embrace it in fullness. Teach us to be led by you in our minds and our hearts in every matter and to trust you fully. Thank you Father for who you are and your grace that flows over each one of us. Amen.

Indeed! It is so absolutely critical to keep ourselves from walking in our flesh. It is a move which only we can decide to make. At any moment, we are given the opportunity to change our ways and our feelings. Do we want to put on the masks, the walls, the "Old" nature? Or do we want to go for something new.
I'm pretty sure my answer is a gimme. I know that yours will be, and is, the same. There are great things going on, surrounding us. It is the time to push in - the time to feel no shame, but instead, God's redemption.
may the REVELATION of His love reign supreme.
more grace, mercy and truth, Lord.
Love ya...
