11 Dear friends, I warn you as “temporary residents
and foreigners” to keep away from worldly desires that
wage war against your very souls. 12 Be careful to live
properly among your unbelieving neighbors. Then even
if they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see your
honorable behavior, and they will give honor to God
when he judges the world.

Daddy,
The struggle is real. Every day my
biggest problem faces me I the mirror. Yet
what I do next will determine the
outcome.
I have tried to "whip myself into shape"
The flesh never sanctifies the flesh. This
tactic made me a ethier proud or aloof,
delighted or despairing.
I have tried to forget the mirror --
I have tried to avoid long look in the
mirror.
What I have come to is I have to live in
reality.
1. This life is temporary
2. I am intended to live differently but sin
got a hold on me and disrupted the
design.
3. There is a WAR and my heart and soul
is a battlefield.
4.I have no natural power to win long
term campaigns.
5. I MUST come to Jesus and surrender
daily, hour by hour, moment by moment.
6. Looking to Jesus and yielding to His
spirit will bring victory.
7. I become what I behold -- my sin or my saviour.
8.Thank God for His friendship and
companionship and focus to walk it out
Daddy, I'm fresh today. I surrender. I
yield. Help me walk like I am your kido.
