When it comes to killing my sin, I don't wait for the miracle, I act the miracle.

There will be no people in heaven who want to be around their things more than Jesus.
Spot the first risings of your besetting sin and kill it, till it is no more.
Do you feel loved by God because you believe he makes much of you, or because you believe he frees you and empowers you to enjoy making much of him?
If you can't see the sun you will be impressed with a street light. If you've never felt thunder and lightning you'll be impressed with fireworks. And if you turn your back on the greatness and majesty of God you'll fall in love with a world of shadows and short-lived pleasures.
