Not my will Lord, but YOUR will be done

The hardest thing to do in life is to not be self-centered. Even when we do great works for the Kingdom of God, most times it's for selfish reasons. I'm at a turning point in my life and walk with Christ. He's challenging me to walk with him in spirit and in truth. But, can I really handle the truth? Am I really ready to walk in His awesome light? I've prayed and asked the Lord to show me how to love like He loves and to feel like He feels. But do I understand what that really means? I don't know.

We are living in the "last days", as the older saints used to say. For a long time our generation now has not put much thought in that. We don't put much thought into eternity and how we're going to spend it. We're consumed with thinking and living for temporal things and not for the eternal. I believe that it's time for that to change. If we had a greater understanding of what was to come, we would spend more time living for Him than ourselves.

We have a great responsibility as children of the King, the body of Christ, to love one another and spread the Word of God! When we stand before Jesus as the righteous Judge, we will have to give an account of how we used our time, our words and deeds, and even our intentions to uplift the Kingdom. So, as i'm typing this, I am experiencing the Grace of God to do what he has called me to do on this Earth. There is nothing more important. I encourage you to seek Him for what he desires you to do in your life.

Not my will Lord, but your will be done!
