Galatians 2:
20
20 I have been
crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in
me.
There are people even in the church,
who have never been able to figure this verse out.
I wonder why dying to self seems so
foreign in the church today?
Dying to self means...I want God to
have complete control, more than I want to keep it for myself.
And yet there are people who pray
every day...read their Bible’s every day, that never figure this concept
out.
In order to live forever, death must
occur every day.
We should
actually practice dying. How well are you doing at that?
The one who
dies daily, understands that this is God’s plan for every person.
Yet our
carnal minds are in opposition to obeying the Word.
Some folks
seem to want things to always go their way.
Just so you
know, that’s just not how it works.
Dying to
self is actually a good thing, not a bad thing.
Preaching
this kind of message in the church today, isn’t very good for attendance
numbers.
“Father, You
understand my heart, and my needs better than I understand them myself. You know
that my spiritual needs far outweigh any physical or temporal needs that I may
have.
I know that Your
will being done in my life will give me great meaning, purpose and fulfillment
beyond anything I could ask for or understand. Help me to die every day. Amen
