Learning

Sometimes with learning we have to be brought to the end of the rope, or the end of ourselves, because we want to keep making it about oirselves, but once we are brought to the end, God is the only beginning, unless we are not willing to look at God as the beginning, but we continue to look to ourselves as our help. We are called to die to ourselves, through water baptism, we are put under the water to signify the death of the old and when we are brought out of the water we are to come alive in Christ Jesus.

I think even though this is a one time action we must do this daily, we must put ourselves to death and come alive to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. If we continue to make life about myself, I am not allowing Jesus to be Lord in my life. I am not dying to myself, I continue to want to make life about me.

This is a moment by moment choice, it is a choice I have to make, no one else can do it for me, I must be willing to say Lord Your will be done, not about me, but about you Lord. It has to be Thy way, not my way, it has to be Him not I. When I surrender all, than He can work in every corner of my heart, even those that I may not want others to see, He knows them all.

Who is in control of your life? Is it truly His way or is it truly my way? What is God saying to you today?
