John 12:25-26 “Those who love their life in this world will lose it. Those who care nothing for their life in this world will keep it for eternity. Anyone who wants to be my disciple must follow me, because my servants must be where I am. And the Father will honor anyone who serves me.”
You can see how unselfish we need to be as we learn and grow to be like Christ. I love that Jesus says “…My servants must be where I am.”
Are we learning and desiring to be where Jesus is? This takes us constantly learning and asking God to fill us with more wisdom. This world which as it says in verse 31 satan is the ruler of is a huge stumbling block for everyone. Our human nature always wants instant gratification and this world offers that, but we need to think of God and living a way that resembles Christ. As we learn to die to self and take up our cross daily we will be focused on others and we will strive to live in the light.
In John 12:44-46 Jesus says, “If you trust me, you are trusting not only me, but also God who sent me. I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the dark.”
Do you trust in the Lord for everything in your life? What selfish worldly things are you holding on to? Give up yourself and trust in the Lord and see the peace and joy that will come to your heart. It’s not trial free but it is true peace and Jesus is the only way to feel it. Learn and grow to understand all God wants and remember it’s not about self. Amen
