“If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News, you will save it.”Mark 8:35 NLT
We’re called to lay down all we expect from life and the attitude of getting and hoarding. I see so many here. It is amazing how justified we can feeling about buying one more thing. Yet we are deceived by greed.
As some one who has chosen to walk away from the trappings of comfort, they stil call out to me. I have to remind myself of what my life is about. I am here to win souls, not the lottery. I am here to bring the Kingdom of God to earth.
The Kingdom of God is pure, holy, lacking deceit and selfishness. It is in love with the King. Jesus is Lord, I am not. His ways and ourposes must be mine.
Today I leave an old friend who wants to remain in the world of greed and selfishness. I fear for her salvation but have done all I can, except continue in prayer for her. Lord have mercy!
