Learn To Give It To God,...Learn To L.I.G (Let It Go)

Good Morning!! It is interesting to trace our family tree and even do generational behavior studies; however, freedom comes first by receiving Christ as Savior and following Him. To live a life free from enslaving hand-me-downs, it is imperative to walk out God's behavior patterns—and we can only do that with His help. A person who receives Christ as Savior should immediately enter a discipleship process to deal with hand-me-downs.

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.—Romans 12:1-2 (NIV)

Some people who have been a Christian for years still carry the baggage of hand-me-downs. They also need discipleship. God has boundaries that, when observed, bring His love and blessing. An accountability partner or godly mentor can help through this time. Christ-centered support groups that provide both support and accountability can also help people struggling with hand-me-downs. The group's focus should be on Christ, and the curriculum should emphasize biblical principles of behavior.

As you believe and obey God's truth, He will help you develop godly behavior patterns.

Father, thank You that our sins have been forgiven through Jesus. Help us with our walk. Help us leave behind our sinful hand-me-down behaviors and develop behavior patterns that are pleasing to You. Help us find the right individuals to teach us and guide us through this process. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

"Nothing tell other that we're  Christian like; our giving and forgiving."
