t is encouraging to me when a counselee tells me they are struggling with the flesh. It is a primary indication that she is truly regenerated and indwelt by the Holy Spirit. Those who are not regenerated will have no fight within them for righteousness and purity of heart.

What is a true friend and how do I find one? What about my non-Christian friends, can I keep them? What are good boundaries for friendships? These are just some of the questions I have wrestled with as I have walked with Christ.

My word for this year is patience. People often smile when I tell them that, replying with something like, “Watch out!” Or “You shouldn’t have asked for that!” I understand why they are saying that, and I smile in return. And yet, patience is a fruit of the Spirit listed in Galatians 5 and is one of the characteristics of godly love in 1 Cor 13. If we desire to be mature in Christ, patience is something by which we should want to be characterized.

Each of these (and many more) has been done to us and is to be done by us in some mysterious way.
