"Will you die for Jesus Christ?" that question has been on my mind today. We are not guarenteed the next second, the next breath, the next heart beat. The Lord has really shown me over the past while so much. Can I honestly say that I would give up my life for the cause of Christ? The answer to that question for us should be "yes Lord" but I believe that most of us really would not wanna give up our lives for the sake of Christ and His ministry. Thats a sad thing to think about. But let me give you an example, if you were at gunpoint, on your knees in a parking lot would you give your life to the cause of Christ? or would you not be afraid because you are not fearful of where your heavenly Father has promised you. I always go back to Colombine, where a shooting broke out in the school and she was at gunpoint and was asked the question "Do you believe in God?" and she looked to her killers and said "Yes" without fear she replied. That to me is the greatest amount of courage that a person could show.
I believe that dying can also mean dying to yourself and picking your cross up daily like He tells us to do on a daily basis. Only when you realize that you cant do it alone and you need help will you really understand this. Christ has called us to a different portion, the Lord has shown me so much over these past couple of months and its an exciting time to be around Him. Be thankful for what He's done in your life.
