Scriptures to Note:
- 11:28:09 - Hebrews 12:11
11 No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening—it’s painful!
But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for
those who are trained in this way.
- 17:09:07 - Matthew 19:21-22
21 Jesus told him, “If you want to be perfect, go and sell all your possessions
and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
22 But when the young man heard this, he went away sad, for he had
many possessions.
- 18:43:09 - Galatians 4:7
7 You will be accepted if you do what is right. But if you refuse to do
what is right, then watch out! Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be its master.
- 19:42:04 - James 1:14-15
14 but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by
their own evil desire and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has
conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown,
gives birth to death.
- 27:08:04 - James 4:17
17 Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it.
- 31:18:27 - Matthew 6:9-13
9 “This, then, is how you should pray:

“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name, 10 your kingdom come,
your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’

Key Takeaway: Your life is on lease from the Creator - and when you truly surrender and let Him guide you, everything becomes clearer and more purposeful.
