I've died to myself. Now what?

So as I said in previous blogs, you have to DIE to yourself. Give up everything you thought you stood for, and just die. But, I am just now learning how awefully wrong that can go, if you don't find life. You can die to yourself and not care or worry about things, but if you don't fill yourself with Him, you will eventually just be left either lazy and empty, or go back to figuring everything out on your own.


Basically, dieing to yourself is more than only giving things up to Him. It's spending time with Him, it's listening for Him, it's doing anything to get closer to Him. It's not only about giving up everything you have, but also looking to Him to fill that. You're dieing to yourself so you can make room for Him, so LET HIM IN! Just dieing to yourself would be pointless.


So all I can do is encourage you to focus on HIM, by not worrying about everything, and spending time with Him. It's true, He will take care of things in your life when you just focus on Him and love/spend time with Him. So die to yourself, but remember WHY you're dieing. LOOK TO HIM.



Matthew 10:38-39 *The Message
38-39"If you don't go all the way with me, through thick and thin, you don't deserve me. If your first concern is to look after yourself, you'll never find yourself. But if you forget about yourself and look to me, you'll find both yourself and me.
