Ask

Ask. Ask again. Don't dive into morbid introspection. Ask, then dance. In other words, live with Psalms 139:23-34 on the front of your heart. You don't live life trying to find everything wrong with yourself. For one reason, you don't have the power to do much about it when you do find something. But God does. Jesus does. The Holy Spirit does. The Bible says that when we say yes to Christ, He literally, not figuratively, but literally comes into your heart and life by the person and presence of His Spirit, the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is God. So all God's love, all God's power, all God's everything...is in you! Ask. By asking, you allow Jesus to search your heart, locate anything offensive, and remove it through repentance and hope. Proverbs 3 & Hebrews 12 make clear that God only corrects those He loves, and that He corrects so He can give you His holiness, His heart, His character, which includes His peace & joy. Ask, and you give God a chance to show you the right path. Ask, and you give Jesus a chance to lead you out of confusion born by sin. Ask, and you give the Holy Spirit a chance to come out of the closet and begin to dance a supernatural dance in your spirit that brings your heart into a deep place of fellowship, connection, and flow with Christ. Ask, and you are closer. Ask, and you are no longer afraid. Ask, and give up the notion that you need to deny darkness in order to feel like you are where you are not. Ask, as a way of telling God you know you haven't arrived and that He has your "welcome mat" to do in your heart and life what He desires. If you are not willing to do this, either you are not a Christian or a shallow person. If you are willing to ask, to live a lifestyle of asking, then you know Jesus has your heart. Why else would you be embracing humility. When you are genuinely asking, you are becoming genuinely humble, and according to Philippians 2, like Christ.
