How?

http://bible.us/Gal2.20.NIV I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Forgetting About Ourselves

Paul said that he had been "crucified with Christ." In other words, he had to stop thinking about himself in order to live for God. And we are encouraged to do the same.

At this point you may be thinking, "What about me? Who is going to take care of me?" This is usually what prevents us from living the way God wants us to live. It always comes back to me.

(Not so much who is going to take care of me but who will care for me?      Spots and all?)

We are so accustomed to seeing our desires satisfied that the very thought of forgetting about ourselves even for one day can be frightening. But if we can muster up the courage to try it, we will be amazed at the freedom and joy we experience.

(Father,  if you are calling me to put aside my.hurt for today then please show me how.   Withdrawing is the only way I know.  How can I show kindness to craig today when all I want to do is run.    Please show me where my attitude was so deserving of.turning around and coming home.    I was cranky for.all of two minutes.   Help me to give up the need to always defend and explain myself but to still be kind.    I believe this has more to do with the ticket than me but if I'm wrong Father if I was so unkind to my husband - if I really am becoming so demanding and selfish father please show me.    Lord I don't want to be selfish. I want to be everything you desire for me.  )

The secret to having joy is giving your life away rather than trying to keep it. When you get the focus off of you and onto God, God can show you how to live a truly meaningful life

(Show me how to make it through today ...if craig wants me to go back to la give.me your spirit.  Fill me father that I would respond in love. )

I encourage you to start your days by dedicating yourself to God. When you do, He will faithfully help you live a godly life.
