Daily Dying

Following Christ is about daily dying to ones personal desires and living in His. This is not easy. Each of us have our own little eccentricities that we may have a hard time putting to one side in order to allow Christ to take over our lives. These eccentricities may just be bad habits that are in themselves not sins but can lead to sinful behavior or they may be sins that we have never fully given over to God thru Christ. I understand a little more each day the dilemma that John Calvin and John Wesley had in understanding each others dogma. I have said it before and I say it again, I think John Wesley said it best when he said words to the effect of, " We are closer than we think in our understanding of the doctrine of Christ."
I want to challenge the reader, no matter what your religious persuasion, to die daily to yourself and seek Gods will for your life, try to live a life pleasing to God, and above all rely totally on Him for your direction in all things. WWJD
