Jesus taught that we should die to ourselves. That means that we have to learn to be ok with things not going our way. It means that we are invited to embrace change, discomfort and ultimately death. We all know that we are going to die, but many of us act fearful and angry about it. Like death would come to others, but never to me.
Dear Lord, can I get a pass on the death thing? Amen.
Sure there are some things that we should fight. Injustice, illness and other things we should not just take. But many times we push back against things in life that we need to learn to absorb.
To surrender to such things is a sign that we are melting into God. And my friends, that is where and when we find the peace.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
