God’s Will vs. My will
As much as I want life to evolve around me. Today I realized it does not! Over the last few weeks I have been asking the question, “what does it mean to deny myself?” In order to follow Christ I need to deny myself, take up my cross, and follow Him. I call myself a Christian, but am I following Christ?
Today it hit me like a ton of bricks. God’s will is opposite of My will. In order to follow Christ, I have to surrender EVERYTHING. My selfish will is built around what I want, how I want the world to see me, as well as how I can control my world.
I am “out of control”. I never have been in control, I just think I am. In order for me to live out my Christian walk, I have to start by denying myself. In order for God’s spirit to work through me, I must deny myself.
Until I deny myself, I am only fooling myself. Today I surrender. Tomorrow I must start over.
