Hanny Grace's Key Ideas from Purpose Driven Life Journal
by Rick Warren

All of our bad habits didn't develop overnight, it's unrealistic to expect them to go away immediately. Requires the hardwork of "removal and placement".The bible calls it removing of old self and putting on the new self.

Only God is allowed to shine the light of his truth on our faults, failures , and hangups can we begin to work on them. This is what you cannot grow without a humble, teachable attitude.

You must let go of the old ways in order to experience new. The unconscious worry is that if i let go of my habit, my hurt, my hangups, who will I be ? This fear can definitely slow down your Growth.

A husband who is faithful to his wife most of the time is not faithful at all! . There is only one way to develop the habits of christ- like character , you must practice them and it takes time. Devote your life to them so that everyone can see your progress. Repetition is the mother of character and skill. These character-building habits are often called "spiritual disciplines".
