As a Christian, one of the most important things I've learnt is saying 'Yes' to your flesh less and less, and yielding more to the Spirit of God (or the Holy Spirit) - which will ultimately make you happier, and leave you in a lot less pain.
But it's TOUGH.
I want to be more like God, but my humanity keeps getting in the way. But I realised this on Tuesday - forget about the war (to be a super, all-loving, ever-forgiving, eternally joy-filled Christian); take it one battle at a time.
That means: Making small but powerful steps every day. If someone says something silly (and insignificant) which upsets me, instead of putting up an attitude immediately, and be rude or cold to the person, I choose to carry on with the conversation as normal and let it go, rather than let it ruin my morning.
Every time I do that, one decision at a time, I make my flesh weaker and weaker. And when the flesh doesn't have the ultimate power, there's space for the Spirit to dominate!
