There is good news and there is bad news. Here is the bad news. There's not much you can do about transforming yourself so you become a devout person and a person who lives a godly life on your own. You can try to pull yourself up by your bootstraps. You can make promises to yourself. You can announce your promises and commitments in a public way. However, you cannot live a godly life without letting the grace of God into your heart. The good news is that you already have a voice inside of you speaking to you. You have a little inkling of the touch of God in your heart. Every human being has this little inkling of goodness from God that tries to get us to go in His direction. When each of us tunes in to this little touch, we can live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives.
Amen!
