Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.

2 Corinthians 4:16

God creates unexpected situations in our lives. We encounter unpredictable and volatile situations where we fail, and our weaknesses come to light. However, we should not be dismayed or discouraged because our character becomes renewed. In other words, if things go well, it’s easy to become arrogant, but when things go wrong, we are humbled and fix ourselves.

Whatever we do in our lives, we must be renewed day by day. Whether we are praying, working, or doing church work, we must be renewed and revived. We must continuously fix ourselves. What should we fix? We need to fix our relationship with God. We need to fix our relationships with loved ones and so-called enemies. We need to fix our relationship to work, money, and material items.

When we pray and try to fix one of these things, we quickly discover it’s no easy task. We repeatedly try to correct something, but we revert back to our old ways. Nevertheless, we must never stop trying to fix ourselves, and we must never be satisfied with the results. Others might say, “He’s really changed a lot,” but we should never become complacent. We are always a work in progress.

So let’s work tirelessly to fix ourselves. God gives according to the amount we have repented and fixed ourselves. God never sheds His blessings on those who don’t make an effort to better themselves. If God blesses those who don’t work on themselves, the thing God gives will end up destroying them. If you have not repented or fixed your ways regarding money and God blesses you with money, it’s a surefire way to destruction. How many people in life have been destroyed by money? Too many to count!

Fix yourself and be renewed day by day. The blessed are those who pinpoint things that need to be fixed and then fixes them! True happiness lies here. There is nothing more joyful than pouring everything you have into fixing yourself! Nobody was happier than the healed thirty-eight-year invalid! Nobody was happier than the healed man who was lame from birth! Heal yourself and fix what is wrong to get a true taste of God’s blessings and miracles!

We must be renewed day by day. We must fix our hearts, bodies, and thoughts. We must stop thinking about things we should not be thinking about; we must put aside needless worrying; we must cast aside the “wrong” kind of despair, hopelessness, desires, and hopes.

Be diligent in fixing yourself!

Pour your heart, energy, and everything you have into fixing yourself!

The happiest, most blessed people are those who work every day to fix themselves and are renewed day by day!

1. Be renewed day by day!
