As I ponder on what to write right now, sometimes I just run out of words to even start the first paragraph… honestly, getting started on something, isn’t that easy, even in writing (but that’s only for me!hehe). Though I may have trouble starting every now and then, I’m still enthusiastic on getting it done, because when it comes to talking about Jesus, I just really want to overflow with so many things to share…
You know what, I love my Jesus, my true BESTFRIEND and everyday is always a new day for me to just empty myself of myself and fill it up with the Holy Spirit. You might be asking me, what does she mean by “living to die and live again?” is that even possible? Reincarnation or Resurrection? hehehe Actually, yes, the resurrection and also our way of life is what I had in mind.
When Christ died for us on the cross, He didn’t just stay there but rose again after three days, this resurrection is proof and preview of our own. I Thessalonians 4:14 says and I quote, “Since Jesus died and broke loose from the grave; God will most certainly bring back to life those who die in Jesus.” You see, as a Christian, our ADLs (activities of daily living) shouldn’t just be centered on us and what would benefit us, but on Christ and who Jesus is in our lives. We are not living for ourselves anymore, nor are we living for the same needs as this world, but for the glorification of our Heavenly Father. We were born to praise Him, to love Him, to adore Him and to follow Him. Jesus being our Lord and savior means obedience and love for Him, and death of our own selfishness and gain.
So as we face each day yokefellows, let’s allow the Holy Spirit to lead us (Romans 8:14) and not be corrupted to what the world has to offer because we were not made for this world (John 15:19) but for something much greater then this, a life far more than our greatest imagination…
