Romans 8:28-29 Jesus wants to transform us into His image by the power of the Holy Spirit. To be like Him again which was what Abba created us in the beginning.

I too have fallen into the “Jesus as genie” trap-especially in my marriage and my finances. I know I compartmentalize my life and give Jesus the parts I want Him to have.

In reality, I want to surrender all to Jesus-not just the parts I want him to have. I know that God (through Jesus) is not a “Mr Fix-It”, but a loving Lord who wants HIS best for me. And it’s hard to make that “leap”.

God also revealed to me that when we try to push those parts of our lives that we want Jesus to fix, they become dominant in our hearts to the point that we move Jesus aside. Then any “solution” that comes our way we erroneously think it’s from the Lord and we create a bigger problem. Whereas if we had just surrendered all, we wouldn’t be in this mess.

Thank you and God bless you! Peace!

Thank you for this post. It has really prompted me to look at my expectations of the Christian life. I've never been a prosperity gospel person, but have really struggled with the emptiness of life. Just did a couple of posts on this issue. Thank you for helping tilt "the kaleidoscope" a little to see from another angle.
