Dying to Live

Jesus said that we must “lose our life in order to find it” (Luke 9:24). In other words, we must die to self. This is more than a one-time decision, it’s a daily battle (1 Cor 15:31). Not just when we’re scared or empty. Not just when we don’t have anywhere else to turn. Not just when we’re trying to manipulate God. It’s a daily thing. Actually it’s an hourly thing. Actually it’s a minute by minute, second by second thing.
