Living to Serve My God ~ by Roger

As a son of God I should live to serve My God! Grace, honor, humility and love serve him! These are spirit. Anger, pride, bitterness, self-centeredness, etc serve me and are incompatible with Father’s nature! These are areas of our lives that are unsurrendered to God. We must choose spirit or flesh!
