Jesus, come into my heart. I accept You as Savior in my life.
Could this be a misleading prayer? Who are we to command Him what to do? When we come before Him on judgement day, we are not going to ask Him to come to us... but it will be us that go to Him.
The main word that we should focus on is "I". How many times have people accepted Him into their hearts and nothing happens- I can testify to that statement.
We do nothing in the transformation- literally. But it is Him that does His work in us. Instead of saying 'I', we should be asking Him humbly for Him to come; we really should be coming before Him, knowing that we have lived a sinful life; we should be confessing that we have been wrong. We need to do this before the cross... confessing all sin at the foot of the cross and submit ourselves to His Truth and His ways.
New International Version (©1984)
Those who oppose him he must gently instruct, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth,
It is He that is the giver of life, it is He that corrects us, it is He that blesses. The only thing we really gotta do is surrender all and submit ourselves unto Him. Its His work, His life, He is in control and directs His will in our lives. He who began a good work in us will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ.
