I have noticed a big difference ever since I started seriously reading, if not the Bible, just any Christian material every day for the last two years. Yeah, it’s been the roughest two years but the more I press in, the more it changes my heart, the less I’m affected by others who may not have my best interest in mind, the quicker I’m able to forgive people, the more I realize that once you are born again, your life is taken care of. God provides even when you have nothing and he provides even when you have everything. Sometimes there are moments of extreme poverty, sometimes there are moments of extreme abundance but like Paul says, the spirit was able to bring him through such things. We got it so good cause people like Paul were in prison, while maybe even though I’m not in a prison, I get to live his story by being a prisoner of my room in this season, or when David went into hiding from Saul, or the 30 years before Jesus’ public ministry. God was just getting them ready. The world will say things to try get you out of your cocoon but once your a butterfly, you’re a freaking butterfly!
