empty self

Something better is found in emptying ourselves, surrendering to HIS lead, letting go of your life and all you hold dear to entrusting God with everything. letting go is not easy for any of us. but Jesus makes it clear that to go where He is going and to be part of His wondrous plan we must deny ourselves pick up our cross daily and follow Him Luke 9:23) . to be more blunt it would be accurate to say if we are truly serious about being a follower of Jesus, then each and every day we need to die to our way of doing things. to discover life Jesus says we have to give ours up. laying our life down is not fun or enjoyable it can be rather painful but it is essential.
Jim Elliott said in a quote He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.
decide whats more important treasures on earth or treasures in Heaven. treasures on earth can be lost treasure in Heaven cannot be lost.
