My eyes have been opened during training camp to the fact that I am not a sinner. I should not see myself or use that word to describe myself. Do i sin? Yes, of course. We all do.
Romans 6:11 says, "In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus."
I am dead to my sin. Alive in Christ.
It is a choice. Daily. Hourly. To remember- I may sin, but i am not bound by my sin. I am alive because of Christ and I am living to bring glory to my God. And now, I see more than ever how important it is to have a reminder of:
"Hayden, you are a saint. You are a daughter of Christ, and his plans for me are far beyond what I can see.I trust in you God. Let me be a saint in this world. Let people see your glory through me when most of the time, all this world sees is a sinner."
Yesterday during training camp, my team went Wal-Mart to talk to people. I felt that God wanted me in the parking lot. I didn't step foot inside of the store, but i picked up trash. I had Christ inside of me and I was more than happy to serve the people that God loves.
God used me to see how being a saint comes with the fact that should also serve.
I am a servant for my God.
