Yield

The Lord said: Because these people approach Me with their mouths to honor Me with lip-service — yet their hearts are far from Me, and their worship consists of man-made rules learned by rote —
Isaiah 29:13 HCSB

If we find ourselves in such a religion where repetition of prayers without heart engagement is the norm, then perhaps it is a time for change. I was one such person but at the age of 19 He invaded my world. First He made me very dissatisfied with my state and then He came to me and led me to the answer.

Knowing Jesus personally is the way. When Jesus was on earth the biggest opposition He received was from those who knew God from an distance and didn't want to know Him personally.

I put up a similar fight but He won and I am so glad He did. Give in, He is the best.

Lord Jesus forgive me for fighting You, I ask You to come into my life and make me new. Amen!
