God, I need you. I have been so prideful and self-reliant, but I feel unfulfilled, empty, and afraid without you. Make me a holy vessel for your holy spirit to dwell and work for your glory and may my flesh, may David Neil Bentley be put to death. I want you alone to reign in and for the life of your spirit to sustain me. Thank you for your far reaching mercy that brought me the undeserved offering of your one and "only" son. As in Romans 12 the only reasonable response to such mercy and goodness is complete surrender, through which only more of your goodness can flow into this life you purchased.
God has begun a good work in me and I know from scripture that he will complete. I choose this day to co-op with God in the transformation of my life through the making new of my mind through a mass influx of his word into my mind and soul. I hope to take a 5-pronged approach through hearing it, reading it, studying it, memorizing it, and meditating on it. I will share on this blog some of my thoughts and record the goodness of God in transforming my life into the man he has called me to be. I pray that God would use this blog as a way for me to cement the things he teaches me in my mind and in a place I can go back to and remember what he has done, because as any human I now I forget things. Also I hope that their will be a record of the death of a small, selfish, helplessly insecure boy being filled with life and transformed through the power of the spirit into a man of God.
