Giving up ourselves

"For I have come down from heaven to do the will of God who sent me, not to do what I want." John 6:38


How has life been this last week knowing that your main purpose on earth is to do absolutely nothing but serve God and be like Christ?

I have found it to be freeing, less stressful, more exciting, and a lot easier in decision making.

I want to finish up this week with what I believe to be the second greatest purpose we have. Giving up ourselves.

"If any of you wants to be my follower, you must put aside your selfish ambition, shoulder your cross, and follow me. If you try to keep your life for yourself, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for me, you will find true life." Matthew 16:24-25 

This week take on the same mindset as Christ when He says, "For even I, the Son of Man, came here not to be served but to serve others, and to give my life as a ransom for many." Matthew 20:28

Prayer: Lord thank You for teaching me this week that my purpose is ALL about You.
