So in LOVE with YOU, like Mary Magdelene.
Thank you for the examples of godly femininity that you've given me, Abba. Thank you for the stories I read in your Word and the women in my life. They reflect your face to me. LORD, teach me to walk with you like these women did. I want to know your face, LORD… the sound of your voice. Rid me of myself. I belong to you. More than anyone, I want to look like YOU.
"Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from Him, throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like GOD, righteous and holy."
-Ephesians 4:21-24
"So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word GOD has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls."
-James 1:21
"My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of GOD, who loved me and gave Himself for me."
-Galatians 2:20
