We may have been born again, but that doesn’t mean we’ve learned how to win the war within. We may have followed Jesus for years, but that doesn’t mean we’ve grasped the key to Christian maturity. We can be gifted, but that doesn’t mean we’re seasoned; active in ministry, but that doesn’t automatically mean mastery over self. The Holy Spirit doesn’t just want to use us—He wants to form us, until Christ’s life becomes the life that leads us. And this is how we finally win the war within—not by striving harder or serving more, but by surrendering deeper to the Spirit who transforms us from the inside out.
