All people have dreams and ambitions
and they want to achieve certain goals in life, SELFISH GOALS,
SELFISH AMBITION, it is all about THEM, THEMSELVES, THEIR pleasure,
THEIR achievement. The first thing that we have to give up and
sacrifice IF WE WANT ETERNAL LIFE is SELF, OUR ambitions, OUR image,
everything about SELF.
Jesus said that:”Whoever wishes to
follow Me must DENY himself, pick up his cross every day and come
here, follow Me.” If we want ETERNAL LIFE then our one and only
goal is to be pleasing to Jesus , to FIT INTO the Kingdom of God.
Jesus is not interested in our ambitions, in the things that WE want
to achieve, He does not care for our feelings, He is concerned about
ONE thing only and that is for us to FIT INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD, for
US to FIT INTO THE PLAN that God has prepared for us to execute,
that which God has called us for and that does not include SELF, or
SELF-IMAGE or SELF-REALIZATION or glorification of ME. It is about
the glory of Jesus Christ, it is about His Kingdom and His
righteousness, living to do the will of God.
If we are still selfishly ambitious,
worried about what people think of US, if we are worried about our
own plans, then we cannot be worried about the Kingdom of God. We
need to seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and He will
give to us everything that we need to achieve the goal and the plan
that He has called us for, but that plan does not include ME. It is
all about Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God.
Are we going after Jesus and seeking
the glory of God? Are we seeking to glorify Jesus Christ or do we
still think about ME, MY and MY ACHIEVEMENTS? It is not about YOU or
ME, it is all about Jesus Christ.
May Jesus bless you.
