Good Morning Beauties!
If we look at the root word of LOVELY, we see LOVE. If we are to be lovely, there must be love at our core. The true love that comes from Christ overflowing out of us as we walk with the Holy Spirit. Do you feel worthy to carry such a gift? Are you able? Selah.
Surrender is still on my heart this morning. The need to give my life to find my true life Jesus died to give me. The need to release control and let God be God. Why is it so difficult? Is it the length of time I’ve controlled my life? Or is it a trust issue? Do I trust Jesus enough to relinquish complete control? Can you relate to the need to surrender? Selah.
The enemy will be in your ear with his lies, telling you calamity is in your future unless you protect yourself. But the Lord tells us something different. He tells us, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11 NIV.
Will you join me today in laying down your life to follow the One who gave us life?
What it means to be a follower of Christ - Mark 8:34-36 The Passion Translation
”Jesus summoned the crowd, along with his disciples, and had them gather around. And he said to them: ‘If you truly want to follow me, you should at once completely disown your own life. And you must be willing to share my cross and experience it as your own, as you continually surrender to my ways. For if you let your life go for my sake and for the sake of the gospel, you will continually experience true life. But if you choose to keep your life for yourself, you will forfeit what you try to keep. For what use is it to gain all the wealth and power of this world, with everything it could offer you, at the cost of your own life?’”
Love and Blessings,
