Galatians 2:20- “I am crucified with Christ”

Remember to read “My Utmost for His Highest” for Today

 

CRUCIFIED

 

If I am crucified with Jesus

There will be pain along my way.

Relinquishment relaxes into holiness

When obedience is practiced every day.

 

If I am crucified with Jesus

There is much to nail on the cross.

Personal pride and possessions

Indicate whom and what is boss.

 

If I am crucified with Jesus

Then self must die alone.

Remember, precious Pilgrim

God NEVER forsakes His Own.

 

If I am crucified with Jesus

Then resurrection is just ahead.

Lord, What more should I surrender?

Your anointing resurrects what was dead.

POINTS TO PONDER or JOURNAL: List the process of relinquishment.

Note the results of this process. What hinders or slows this process? Are there other situations you need to surrender? Consider this the prod you needed. Journal the results of your obedience.

 

DEAR LORD, Thank you for Your great sacrifice for me. Help me to realized that the painful areas of my life might represent things I need to surrender to You. Show me Your paths. Teach me obedience and Lord, thank you for reviving things in my life that I thought were dead. You were waiting for my surrender so You could use them, Your way. I love you Lord. In Jesus’ Name, AMEN
