Losing oneself.

I've heard it. I've read it. I believe in it.

"Lose your life, just so you can find it."

So today, after ALL my plans fell thru the cracks, I decided to do some cleaning. Don't get me wrong, I love to clean. It is relaxing, theraputic even. :)

When I clean, I always put on some tunes. It helps me clean with some "rhythm". So I put on Phil Wickham a song called "True Love". His voice is amazing. Very angelic.

Anyhoo...

I start to clean the kitchen and I really was meditating on the words as I was scrubbin along, which doesn't always happen.

This song is POWERFUL! And lately the theme that God keeps reminding me is "MEDITATE ON ME..." So with this song, it was really easy to put my mind on the things above.

So my favorite line from the song for the moment is Lose your life, just so that you can find it...

THIS is hard. But NOT impossible. If HE (Jesus) told me to do so in His word, it's possible. Point blank. It's just time to put me away. I think if I was Jesus, I wouldn't want to go thru the whips, lashes, spits to the face, pulling on the beard, Cross bearing for ANYONE... but that wasn't him at all! He put HIS OWN SELF to the side. And did what the father asked of Him to do. He is the ultimate example.

Lose self. Find Christ.
