Taking Up The Cross

“For if you choose self-sacrifice and lose your lives for my glory, you will continually discover true life. But if you choose to keep your lives for yourselves, you will forfeit what you try to keep. For even if you were to gain all the wealth and power of this world with everything it could offer you — at the cost of your own life — what good would that be? And what could be more valuable to you than your own soul?” Jesus. 

(Matt 16:25-26 PT).

God answers; with presence @pktfuel

When we limit our prayers and desires to the material, we are limiting our perception of what God can and wants to do in our lives. We limit his will. Imagine if we lived and prayed like God’s will for us has more to do with WHO we become, not WHAT we become? How we move through the ups and downs of life, not the removal of the downs?

God hears us all – our every word and prayer. And he longs for us to see him more and more as he is. The divine who is peace in storms, strength in weakness, wisdom in foolishness, hope in hopelessness, purpose in rejection, forgiveness in repentance, restoration in brokenness, life in death…

Present in prayer.

Seek God to fashion you in the midst of your season, not to remove the season of fashioning. Open your eyes to see that beauty can come from the most unexpected places.

Jesus prayed, “not my will but yours be done…"

Maybe we should too.
