"No one's ever
seen or heard anything like this, never so much as imagined anything quite like
it-what God has arranged for those who love him." (1
Corinthians 2:9)

 When Christ asks you to die to yourself, He is
asking you to allow Him to re-create you into something new and wonderful. It's
like the outer shell that covers a seed. As long as that shell is in place, the
seed will never grow. The shell has to die for that seed to produce a harvest.
Your outer shell has to die for you to be fruitful. Once we give up what we
want and begin living for Christ, we will begin to experience the peace, joy,
and happiness that God has in store for us.
Friend, you will never know what
real living is until you let go of your outer shell! It's not how much money you have. How big your house is. The degree or position you hold or the neighborhood you live in. True happiness and true
fulfillment come when we give our lives away, because when we do that God is
prepared to flood your heart with His goodness, and isn't that what's it all about after-all?
Go ahead, get out of yourself and start to really live.

Lord, I know that
true happiness and fulfillment come when I relinquish control of my life to
you. Give me strength to do just that today. In Jesus' name. Amen.
