What does it mean to die to yourself?
This month I have struggled with not feeling completely like myself. I have learned so much, felt so much, seen so much in the last three months. I wasn’t sure I knew how to process it. Then as we are preparing to leave (yet again), preparing for more possible team changes and kind of just soaking in the beauty of our reality and how God has used us and changed us these last couple months. Then it happened this morning while we witnessing baptisms the pastor said something and I realized what was going on. I don’t recognize myself because I am not the same. I AM different. I died when I was baptized 2 years ago. When I came out of the water I was raised again IN JESUS. The Holy Spirit lives in me and I was willing for it to change me and IT DID!These past three months I’ve prayed for change and God has granted those prayers. I am not the same girl you used to know.
I AM A DAUGHTER OF THE MOST HIGH KING!
I have found my confidence and identity, not in men, not in other’s opinions, but in GOD where it should be. He says I am BEAUTIFUL, I am LOVELY, and I am His daughter.
I pray that you too will be willing to die. Willing to accept a better future. Willing to just say ok God I’m willing for you to prove you are real.
I died. Now I’m living a better life. We always say “I’d kill to…” have that, be able to do this… but are you willing to die?
