Daily Choices

“If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross daily, and follow me."

LUKE 9:23

The life of the disciple is one given each day. The continual outflow of love - praise and thanks in your spirit to the Lord is absolute. The Lord yearns to fill you with his peace and joy - Allow all of the fruits of the spirit to be received. This is with continual surrender to Christ Jesus.

Be washed daily of your sins in the blood of Jesus - Renew your heart and mind in all those things Holy and Righteous - let your will be done in my life. Allow the Lord to live in you - and be free of the bonds of this world.

Converting yourself from the natural human life to that of the spiritual life of Christ requires a constant deliberate commitment such that each fiber of you that does not resemble the life of Christ should fall away by choice. We cannot live for ourselves and also have the Lord live full inside of us.

Accepting Jesus is the acceptance of a new life to be lived in you. Accepting Jesus is when you decide to turn away from your old life and trust the life Jesus has prepared for you. Accepting Jesus is to love your neighbor. Accepting Jesus is to lose yourself intentionally for the one that lives forever. Accepting Jesus is to know God. 

“Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who will not receive many times as much at this time and in the age to come, eternal life.” - Luke 18:29-30

“So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days. Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do.” Ephesians 5:15-17
