This truth surely may be valid when one may not have been spiritually born again.
A spiritually reformed life takes on new behavior and noticeable actions.

And this works, so long as one works at it with perseverance.
When this truth is acknowledged and carried out, one's life surely shall
experience a spiritual closeness to God. And likely "worldliness' will become
less focused on, here in the now.

Amen.... 100% fully accurate. Keep God in the middle and relax. He has it covered and will always provide what we need and more. He's in on this and genuinely cares
'Gratitude is powerful. It changes our perspective, softens our hearts, and helps us see the good even when life feels heavy. Studies show that gratitude has measurable benefits, it boosts happiness, lowers stress, and strengthens relationships. The Bible has been saying the same thing for centuries: “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
(1 Thessalonians 5:18).
**'Testimonies act as a spiritual anchor. Recalling the ways God has shown up for you in the past builds hope,
reminding you and others that He is capable and willing to "do it again" during future difficult seasons.
'And then, when there has been no spiritual transformation in one's life, there likely can be no
testimony to share. Lost souls need to witness testimonies in the hope of anchoring their faith, so long
as one's life has experienced an actual transformation of significance.

**Humans cannot choose God on their own strength. Proponents point to scripture, such as John 6:44
("No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them"), to explain that the Holy Spirit
must first renew the mind and heart (a process called regeneration) for a person to have the ability and desire to choose God.
The Reformed view holds that fallen man, in his natural state, has no ability to choose Christ without
God first giving him that ability — namely, the work of the Holy Spirit in regeneration.

**Consciously anchoring yourself in the "here and now" rather than dwelling on the past or worrying about the future.
And it appears there are those seeking answers that are most likely found when spiritually grounded.

Thank you.
My motto is.
I can't change the past.
Only God knows the future.
I control only what is in my present reach.
**Endless worldly distractions will surely hinder the necessary time needed
to reflect on one's inner self well being. Never doubt the importance of taking
the time for a "spiritual inventory".
'Important and meaningful scripture such as 1 John 3:19-24: are seldom , if ever brought
up, perhaps there are those that shy away from the truth that may interfere with personal agendas.

Amen... Praise God! Alone time with Him is invigorating and simply essential. Thank You Lord!
**The Psalms remain incredibly significant today because they offer a universal language for the entire human experience, bridging the gap between raw emotion and spiritual grounding. In a fast-paced, often isolated world, they give people permission to be totally honest with God—providing healthy, timeless words for grief, joy, anger, and awe.
The enduring relevance of the Psalms in today's world comes down to these things:
- Validation of Real Emotions: Unlike social media, which often pressures us to only show our best selves, the Psalms embrace the full spectrum of human feelings. They show ancient poets pouring out profound grief, doubt, and frustration, offering a therapeutic blueprint for modern mental health and emotional processing.
- A Common Language for Prayer: When it is hard to find the words to pray, the Psalms provide a ready-made vocabulary. They act as the "prayer book of the Bible," offering comfort, peace, and perspective to people in times of crisis
- Connection Across Time and Faiths: The Psalms unite a massive, multi-generational community. They are deeply historically significant because Jesus himself memorized, recited, and quoted these exact poems during his life and crucifixion.
- The Pursuit of Awe: In an increasingly secularized and screen-obsessed culture, the Psalms reorient the mind toward the beauty of creation and the grounding nature of true worship.
surely help increase a closer "reality" with God and/or a closer reality check of ones own self, no matter
what area of your Christian life. They have and do surely help in my spiritual journey as challenges surely
arise each day, this too I have come to know. Here in the now.
