Renewed by the Holy Spirit

He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Titus 3:5-7 
Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from Him, throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy. Ephesians 4:21-24 NLT. Once again…we make our own choices. We can let the Holy Spirit renew us—our thoughts and attitudes. Attitudes are a big thing. Chuck Swindoll wrote in an essay an “Attitude” that included… I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes. We are “in charge of our Attitudes.” God allows us choices in our attitudes. The Holy Spirit will renew our attitude, if we choose to let Him. How’s your attitude today? Personally, I know I could stand to renew my attitude.

Prayer ~ Holy Spirit, renew my thoughts and attitudes that I would live to truly please the Lord.
Change me so that my attitude changes from within my heart, soul and mind.
