Who we are in the past does not make us who we are in the future.
Once every while I hear a joke about France giving up.
As far as I know (Which could be very mistaken) France doesn’t just give up on an everyday basis.
Yet we still joke like they do.
Sometimes we get wrapped into who we were in the past, not who we are right now.
You ever feel like that?
People were wondering when the Kingdom of God was coming in Luke 17.
Jesus started to tell them you don’t know when it’s going to happen.
God has a history of not telling people the exact time something happens, The Flood and the day Sodom had rain of sulfur and fire are two examples.
He talks about Lot’s wife going back for things while this was going on and losing her life.
Jesus tells us this in Luke 17:33…
“Whoever tries to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it.”
Another way this was put…
“If you grasp and cling to life on your terms, you’ll lose it, but if you let that life go, you’ll get life on God’s terms.”
When we live just for us, we live sad lonely lives even if we have everything, we have nothing.
What is worth living for?
My journey into trying to be like Christ, has had its ups and downs.
There are times I do great in my relationship with Christ and times I fail.
It’s a daily battle who and what I am going to live my life for.
Are you living life are your own terms?
If so, how is that working out for you?
When we live with others in mind we truly live.
How are you living?
Have a great day.
