Matthew 10:39

Matthew 10:39

If you cling to your life, you will lose it, but if you give up your life for me, you will find it. 

O/A- we must be willing to die to ourselves so that Christ can live in us. We must give up our ways and our desires and wants and bring all of that into submission under his. For it is no longer our way but his. For all that we are "losing" is only temporary when we die to ourself and what we gain through Christ is eternal. If you surrender your earthly life, your ambitions, and even your physical life for Jesus' sake, you will find a greater, eternal life with Him. 

Father it's  not about us, our ways, our wants and desires but instead it all about you. Our desires lead us astray and turn our focus away from you but it's when we can bring that stuff into submission under you that we find true peace and joy in a world full of chaos. So let us go deeper with you, stole the fire of our soul and let it burn red hot for you. Fill us with your words and knowledge and give us strength lord knowing that your walking with us through any and all things. We love you ABBA and we give you all the praise and glory in Jesus name amen
