It’s funny how we love the beauty of life and not remind
ourselves about the end, but most especially the joy about it.
That I may know him, and
the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made
conformable unto his death;
Philippians 3:10
Paul loved to live for JESUS to the very end even though it includes
death, bringing yourself to the fact that what you love so much could cost you
your life. It’s also funny how the best love songs have one singing about
dying, as an illustration of true love.
25 For whosoever will save his
life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
Matthew 16:25 King James Version
(KJV)
Another awesome fact to this is knowing that people will
readily want to die for CHRIST one way or another, but the bitter truth is to “die
daily”, which is actually worse than sudden death. For instance in Matthew
16:25 JESUS talks about one can find himself when he is ready to lose his life,
can we lose ourselves daily to the will of GOD? Can we die daily for his work?
Are we really giving our all for what GOD has called us for? Living for GOD is
not signified by being a Pastor or a minister at church, its truly expressed in
our day to day living. For instance can we love that horrible boss and give a
110% delivery at our job? Can we truly say we gave our time and money to the
children GOD gave us? Are we using every opportunity to get the best grades in
our academics? Are we truly dying daily to the opportunity of life, JESUS has
given us?
Prayer Point
LORD help me die daily to YOUR WILL, IN JESUS NAME, AMEN.
