so today i was thinking about how Jesus died on the cross for me( a good thing to think about) and i was thinking about how he did not want to die but he did it for his Father and for us! i was so blown away by his love this morning and how he gave up his desires for us!!
we, as the bride of Christ are called to be a reflection of Jesus on that cross! one who is so willing to surrender their preferences for the will of God! to surrender their own desires for others! this is one thing that i have been tested with a lot lately! but the Lord has opened up my eyes to see that when i give up my own desires or preferences for others that i should be doing it in worship to Him!
to lay down my life daily, even in just the little things, and to want to be a reflection of Jesus on that cross! and i know that Jesus does not regret giving his life up for us one bit, so i am sure that we will not regret giving up our desires and preferences for others!!! Papa will always take care of us and make everything work together for our good!!
aren't you so happy that we serve a God who loves us and takes care of us! have a blessed day full of Jesus!!
