Inheritance....

When someone dies in your family, or maybe a close friend you sometimes get an inheritance. 

You get something left in their will for you to either remember them by or to help you out in a struggling situation. 

In these situations its rude to say no, its rude to say that you can't accept because of the gift or maybe the person giving it. 

So how do you feel when you inherit a lifestyle? 

When I moved from my home to live in Plymouth, I thought that it was going to be a fresh start, I thought it was going to be a new life, a fresh page and many other cliches. But to be honest I still have the same fears, I still have the same problems, I still have the same aching heart when I just can't seem to climb out of the hole I have dug. 

Why do we accept these lifestyles?

Why do I? 

Because I am comfortable in them, because I am use to looking over my shoulder just waiting for the next blow to be thrown at me, because I am more willing to accept the bad instead of look for the change, look for the good. 

In the bible it says this....

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come" 

Thats 2 Corinthians 5:17 if your wondering.

How can I truly accept Christ into my life, if I am unable to accept that I have been reborn?

How can I keep on clinging to the old broken me and expect any different results? 

And why do I keep thinking anything will be different? 

Why live a life that is truly dead, when you can live life to the fullest in Christ? 

This is something I have to wrestle with as well, and I hope you can to.

Lets cast off the old, lets embrace the loving, new life that is given to us through Christ Jesus.

Thats the type of inheritance I want. 

Thats the type of lifestyle I want.
