Are you living for God or His blessings?

A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher.

If you are really honest with yourself, you will admit you are more interested in the blessings of God than living out His life.

Inner death has to take place before new life can begin. The darkness or deprivation of life is engineered by the hand of God. You have to go through the suffering and inner desolation to be useful to God.

You have to encounter a death to the goodness of God so you will become willing to live for His purposes. The blessings of God will not be your motive for serving God. Your purpose will be to do His will without any expectations.

This is very difficult and will be costly to you. You will lose your life to be a disciple for Jesus.

Thought for the day:

“If you want to be My disciple, you must live for My purposes. You will have no understanding or clarity about where your life is headed or why you can see nothing in the future. I want you to be dedicated to Me for who I am without any attachment to an outcome. My purposes are eternal!”
