Deep and thoughtful. My prayer daily is to come to the end of myself and let Christ take preeminence.
Thanks for sharing!

What does it profit a man to gain the world and lose his soul? Just let go. Nothing else matters really.

Hi John.
First : For sure, it’s not easy. According to God, it’s not our job to kill ourselves (Romans 14:7). It’s Jesus in us who has the power to condamn the old man. God established Jesus to do this in us(Jeremiah 1:5). Our role is to accept God’s sentance, to let down our life and let Him do it.
Second : The life of Jesus is already in us (John 3:16). The power of resurrection got in us every time we are called to give our life if we reiceve him (John 1:12).
Daily cross is an exchange lifes spiritual meeting where we come in the mount with Isaac and get the lamb already given.

The Lord used some of these words to guide while in a very difficult wilderness season in the workplace this week. My knee-jerk, natural reaction is to run! As was written “He calls them to the desert, and they resist it, or they go and immediately look for a way out.” I was practically kicking and screaming- I wanted out- now!

Spiritual, emotional, and relational victory came today as I read: we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. Romans 5:4.

How many times I’ve read those Words, and they were never as timely and real to me as today. Today these Words became mine!

I greatly appreciate the wisdom you shared as being part of that process.

Your sister in Him,
