Jesus stripped Himself of the insignia of majesty, humbling Himself by dying on the cross…so that we can have LIFE, now and eternally!
All He asks in return is that we strip ourselves of our self-reliant arrogance…and humbly bow before Him…receiving Him as Savior and serving Him as Lord, setting aside our flesh-stained perspective of things in exchange for His perspective…moment by moment throughout our chaotic day.
Now…how difficult could THAT be?!
Blessings to all my family and friends around the country and throughout the world who are seeking God’s Way with all their heart (or ‘desiring’ to seek His way with all their heart) ~ may we live beyond our spiritual means…equipped and enabled to live by the flow of God’s Spirit within us…for our good and His GLORY!
I remind myself often that God is the One who will finish the work He began in us. May we keep our eyes riveted on our Commander-in-Chief. He never promised us a calm passage through life…but we are ensured a safe and joyful landing!
“And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue His work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.” ~Philippians 1:6
