“Then he said to the crowd, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross daily, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but are yourself lost or destroyed?”Luke 9:23-25 NLT
Do you realise that God sees who you are in Him? His desire is that we also see it and begin to transform into that person.
Lately I am coming to an understanding that I was continually under another point of view, one that the world would adhere to but not one that my God would support or acknowledge in any part. For the longest time I have sought to belong but what I missed was, I was looking for it in the wrong place. My Heavenly Father has a me He wants me to see, a free me that is uniquely me, not what I think I should be or what others might think I should be.
As we strive for the unreal we resent interferences, rejections and we actually can make slaves of ourselves to an ideology that is only an ideology without substance.
Remember, Jesus said He had come to set people free. Why not surrender? Amen!
