I’m not sure I understand your question. Can you elaborate?

John
So true what you said. Much to think about along with what Chip has shared. Especially the comment about killing ourselves, seems like in some way we (I) think we can still be in control that way. Ugh
Thanks.

I feel the same 🙁 I’m really struggling with myself! And how easy it is to .. once again… try everything out of your own, when no good thing can come from me!!! Thats’ for sure!

While reading this article, I was reminded of the time when my husband and I was trying for a baby. We tried 3 years,.. we were getting miserable, scared that something was wrong, and sad! Frustrated!! And then I just made up my mind one day, I’m giving up!! Now I will just enjoy my marriage, and if I don’t have a baby, well then so be it — ie I made peace with it, and GAVE UP TRYING.. and yes, like SO MANY MOMMIES with the same exact story, the moment you give up – LIFE HAPPENS LOL, yes GOD made it happen lol. God gave us a baby – we didn’t make our baby 🙂 it is a wonderful feeling, and something I must remind myself everyday off…

That is why we have weak christians today so much emphasis is put on what YOU can do for the kingdom – YOUR potential etc. But YOU and I can do NOTHING apart from Christ. and when trials and testing come they cry out why Lord have you forsaken me , grumble and complain. Praise God for our trials and discipline – for God disciplines those he dearly loves. But people do not want that part of the word – It is a troublesome burden to see the sheep slaughtered with twisting of the scriptures to as what Arnold would say ” I want to pump you up”. Have mercy and forgive us God For it is Christ No us..Not to us but to your name be the Glory..Jesus Christ!!

I like you comment!! As I read it, i was thinking how utterly impossible it is for us to crucify self. If we start at the feet, that is do-able, then we may nail one wrist, but someone has to drive the nail in the wrist that is free.
