Thoughts for the morning…
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it. Matthew 16:25
Are you willing to surrender every thought, every action, every word, every single desire to that of the Lord? You have to literally die to self to have Christ to dwell and live inside of you. You must be reborn. Every morning are you willing to say… Lord, this is your day. This is your life. This is your breath. His body was broken and His blood was shed for you and me.
Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” Matthew 19:21
What are you willing to give up to follow him. Eternal life or that pornography addiction? Leading your family to a place of truth… or are you satisfied with destruction?
5 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
7 but made himself nothing,
taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father. Phil 2:5-11
