Battle against Self

Mathew 16

24Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me. 25If 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. 26And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?l Is anything worth more than your soul? 27For the Son of Man will come with his angels in the glory of his Father and will judge all people according to their deeds. 28And I tell you the truth, some standing here right now will not die before they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom.”

So many times I want to hang on to my life. I want to do things my way. But how I lose out on so much. I can see it in how I got a job, how I finished school ... As long as I was trying to hang on to my life things wouldn't work. I would get fed up. Burnt out. It was untill I gave it to God and said this is yours, what should I do.

You know and some times I felt God leading me other times not. I picked what I thought was the best, and God worked through what I gave him and made it into so much more. Not for me but for him, because it is now his.

That's what i try to do with this blog. It is all God's. It's not something I can do by myself. 

I can't wait to see a world where people are fine with where they are, never looking for the more, because Jesus is in control of everything.

God lead us to give everything to you
God bring us to your refreshing stream
God help us to serve one another
God work in our lives
