Quite a few years ago I realized that I was Born to Die.
Death is a reality for all of us. The great thing is that in many ways we can choose how we lay down our lives in a way that brings glory our God and His love and also life to the lost..
If you profess Jesus as Lord and Saviour you need to accept the fact that Christians are Born to Die.
This death need not consist of being crucified upside down for you faith. It usually means a minute by minute, hour by hour, day, week, month, lifetime of decisions to lay aside your own life and rather live your life in a way that loves others the way our Saviour loved us.
It is often easier to chose the path of least resistance, but the reality is that greatest growth in our character and heart often comes from times of hardship and sacrifice that refines impurities from our lives.
Wow. I wrote this more than 4 and a half years ago. How prophetic.
