When Self Matters!

 


Here Are Three Times That 
The Word "Self" Should Freely Utter From Our Mouths: 
Selfless
Self-Surrendered
And 
Self-Controlled! 

Beloved, 

If You Have Surrendered Your Self To Your Savior
Then There Is Less Self 
And 
Definitely More Of The Savior
And 
Self-Control Becomes The "Savings-Card" 
Notably In Constant Use! 

Self-Consumed Dies
Self-Sufficiency Atrophies
Self-Serving Skips Town
And 
Self-Aggrandizement Runs Away From Home 
Because 
Nobody Loves It! 

As Committed-To-Christ Christians
We Must Live With That Hope Which Says: 
"My Change Is Going To Come!" 

This Is Possible 
Because 
The Lord Christ Has Purchased Us 
New Character And New Clothing 
Aka Internal Character And External Clothing 
Aka Christ-Like Character 
And 
The Robe Of Christ's Righteousness! 

This Is Big Doings 
And 
It Can Only Be Accomplished By 
Our Cooperating With Christ 
Through The Working Of The Holy Spirit 
Who Assuredly Leads Us Into All Truth! 

Dear Ones, 

This Is Not A Work For The Faint-Hearted
The Fickle
Or The Fool Who Says In His Heart That 
There Is No God! 

Let Us Not Settle For "Easy Living" 
And 
Leave The Family Of God! 

Anything Worth Having
Is Worth Laboring For!


Know This ...

The Stench Of Self 
Will Never Waft Through The Portals Of Glory 
But
The Heart For Christ Will Find Eternal Rest There! 

Understand This ...

It's Time To Turn Brown Things White Through Christ 
Since There's No Self-Cleaning For Christians! 

Get At It ...

Indulge In Self-Examination Through The Holy Word 
Aka The Lens Of The Lord! 

Peace!
