Both Ways

We CAN'T have it both ways.

We either live in Christ OR we live in ourselves.

If we choose ourselves- we live an ordinary life. We live a life with some joy and some satisfaction and some sense of being connected to others.

On the contrary, if we choose to live for Jesus... by the power of the Holy Spirit, we live INSPIRED and SUPERNATURAL lives FILLED with PURPOSE, SATISFACTION, DIRECTION, AND PEACE.

Why does my flesh want to choose the wrong way? Why do I naturally want to do things my OWN way? Why do I think that if I am doing it "my way" that I can "have my cake and eat it too"?? <--- that is DECEPTION- that is a false cake! That is a counterfeit cake! The only "cake" is JESUS and the only way to "eat it too" is to DIE. To give it up. Give up everything and then I can HAVE everything more abundantly....

It makes no sense.
But put this [die-to-self, turn from your own plans, surrender all] in action and it's the only way to truly live!!
