Put It Aside

2nd Peter 1:6
Learn to put aside your own desires so that you will become patient and godly, gladly letting God have His way with you.

The most unselfish thing ever done was Jesus dying on the cross for our sins - in that one moment Christ our Lord laid it all down and then said it was finished - Jesus cared for those who killed Him - He cared for the two dying with Him that day - He cared for His Mom - His brothers and sisters - He cared for you and me - from the cross He endured so much for our sakes - He is the example for us to follow of what it really means to lay our lives down for our friends - except in His case - He laid down His life for those who were not His friends - they will separated from HIS Father by their sins - we are in the same boat where it not for Christ coming and dying for us! Jesus lived a perfect life but yet became sin for us - He never sinned - never disobeyed His Father - never lied - cheated or stole! JESUS was perfect and HE laid HIS Life down!
In the same way we are also to lay our lives down for those around us - We are to daily die to self - we are daily to give our lives away helping others - loving them - and showing them Jesus - it's easy to type these words - much harder to live them - I have begun to come out and be honest - and admit how I have failed to live up to what I have written - but in God's power I will happen - I will die to self - I will lay it down - I will put it down just as soon as I remove the I - see it's hard to even write without putting that one letter word in the equation - just sitting here typing God showed that to me - If we want to put it aside we have to put our lives in Jesus capable hands - we must be willing to die to self - we must be willing to leave what we want behind and serve our Living & Loving Savior! We are concern ourselves with the needs of others - we will find that God can use us in a mighty way - helping others is not always easy - but it's what we have been called to do - plug in where God places you - Grow where you are planted - and put it all aside for God's glory - it's not to be about us - but all about HIM - I am praying that God opens your eyes today to just what HE wants you to do with the life HE has given you - let's get I and me and us out of the way - just ask JESUS and HE will do it - crucify this flesh - it's time beloved!

Word to the wise:When following CHRIST its best to die and let HIM live in you!
