We Are Not Supposed to Change Anything in Ourselves

There is no hope in self-effort.

Whatever problems we see in ourselves, whatever conflicts or pains or bad habits we see in ourselves, we cannot fix them ourselves.

We cannot fix ourselves!

God fixes us, He transforms us, He changes us.

It's never been about fixing ourselves.

It's all about fixing our eyes on Himself!

"I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning." (1 John 2:13)

It's all about Jesus, not ourselves.

It's about looking at us, but looking at Him.

No wonder there have been so many trials, failures, and losses in the Body of Christ. We do not seem Him alive, taking care of everything.

We have allowed the spirit of self-help to move in, when it is the Holy Spirit who helps us!

"Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered." (Romans 8:26)

and

"But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord." (2 Corinthians 3:18)

The LORD fixes us, He transforms us as we look at Him more and more every day!
