Taking Inventory

“Don’t you know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?”
I Corinthians 3:18

All believers have God in their heart. But not all believers have given their whole heart to God. Remember, the question is not, how can I have more of the Spirit? But rather, how can the Spirit have more of me? Take inventory. As you look around your life, do you see any resistant pockets?...Go down the list…

Your tongue. Do you tend to stretch the truth? Puff up the facts? Your language? Is your language a sewer of profanities and foul talk? And grudges? Do you keep resentments parked in your “garudge”? Are you unproductive and lazy? Do you live off the system, assuming that the church or the country should take care of you?...

Do your actions interrupt the flow of the Spirit in you life?- Max Lucado

In this article I would say it's absolutely "true". Did we give our whole heart to God or we keep a little space for ourselves? As what God said "Worship me with all your heart, soul, mind, body and spirit". Not partial but whole! Everything, All, Whole, and Every Single Thing! We give everything we have, He gave everything to us, even his only Son!
