The Gospel of John, 6/26/15
John 12:20-50. Die to live. It's the secret to real life. The Lord will bring the fruit. No need to focus on self or worry about my life. Let it go, unto Him. Be about His glory, not mine. Trust in Him with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding. In all my ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct my paths.
Believe in His word. Read it; hear it; let it lead unto wild faith and bold courage. Release fear, anxiety, worry, and most of all- control. Seek to please God. Reject the compromising motive to rather please men. Instead, walk in the light, staying close to Jesus.
Jesus is my validation. I don't require men's approval. He is my confidence, my identity, and my esteem. My heart sustains injury within my purpose in life. Shall I shrink back now? No way! I died, and was planted here, to grow and to fulfill this purpose, for His glory. Mustn't grumble. He is my life now. I walk in freedom. May Your will be done, not mine.
