1. Preach Gospel to Self
--I am a sinner
Rom7! my sin has not shocked God or caught Him unawares... He elected me, atoned for me and sent His Spirit KNOWING that I would fail and wander... Jesus came for the sick.... ps 40... "as for me I am poor and needy"
-- I am a son
my status is certain... romans 8! I received the spirit of adoption as sons... the Spirit Himself bears witness! all rights & privileges are mine

2. Rest in His Goodness and sovereignty
All that I call good is from You and is good
All that I call bad is from You and shall be used for good
You control every word I've spoken, every coincidence that got me to this moment... your plan is working, grant me faith to rest in it, not fight it
"Jesus, I am resting... slowly finding out the greatness of your loving heart."

3. Offer self as lving sacrifice
Jesus, I'm yours. You are all i got. Manifest your glory in and through me today. May I enter every conversation filled with hope in You and your gospel... and pass that hope on thru my tone of voice, words, and actions and facial expressions and reactions.
