When I surrendered my life to God I no longer had a desire to do the things I use to do when I was lost & trying to find my way in the world…
I no longer desired to hang out and party at the club or stay out in the streets all night seeing what I could "get Into".
I no longer desired to model half dressed & provocatively causing others to stumble and lust over me.
I no longer desired to entertain guys who were into everything the world had to offer like fast money, the night life, recreational drugs, fast women, ego trips, power trips, fame, fast cars, sexual relations, etc.
I no longer desired to hang around individuals who did not bring out the best in me but were bad influences in my life because their lifestyle & mindset were toxic.
I no longer had a desire to curse when I was angry, fight when I got mad, and gossip or be around people who like to entertain it.
I'm not saying that I felt or feel that I am perfect because clearly no human is, but I couldn't claim to be a New Creature In Christ yet still do and say the things that I did when I was out in the streets sinning without a Conscious. I was new in Christ and I didn't want any temptation to make me stumble and get me off course.
Each day I have to "die to my flesh" and I have to pray for God to remove thoughts and things in me that are not pleasing to Him. It is a struggle but it gets easier the more I practice self-control and pray for help because I know I can't do it alone.
I write this in love... This is my testimony and it was on my heart to write. I hope this message blessed someone.
With Love,
Amber Robinson
