#12 Discovery Not Improvement
Posted: Tuesday, October 1st, 2019
PrintAbout Finding the New You Series
Revelation is given in the practical places. Every life experience is buried treasure for discovery of who God is and what Jesus has given: a whole, new YOU.
Devotional
We don’t need to improve or get progressively better. There is no possibility of improving the old self. The Christian life is not about progress toward God. The only need is discovery not progression! Revelation, not effort.
And God gives rich discoveries through the pains and joys of living. Revelation is given in the practical places. Every life experience is buried treasure for a revelation of God, of yourself, and of what Jesus has given.
…be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind…
Ephesians 4:23 AMPC
