:living::

dying for something we believe in seems like the most heroic act of mankind could achieve. giving up your life for someone is one of the greatest acts of love on this earth. but lately i have been thinking about death and life. i have been thinking about how courageous it would be to really give yourself to LIVING for something, or someone. how much harder would it be to really LIVE for what you believe in rather than DIE for it? 

i have realized to DIE is to LIVE. i have realized it might actually be harder to LIVE for Christ than to die for Him. John 15:13 ‘Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends’

i am understanding that laying down my life doesn’t mean dying the way i  thought it did… it means really LIVING. It means dying to the things of this world and really LIVING for Jesus. and so today i chose to DIE for Christ once again.

laying down my sickness and infirmity and knowing that my flesh DIE to self and ALIVE in Him

laying down my worries, fears and insecurities to fearlessly live like Jesus.

laying down my weaknesses so that God can turn them into strengths.

laying down all that i desire in this world and placing it at the feet of Jesus.

ultimately living God’s truth in every circumstance and situation no matter how uncomfortable and challenging it is.

this is the greatest love. this is laying down my life.
