“Jesus’ secret to joy and life was simple: Die. …Against what all our instincts of self-preservation whisper to us every day, total surrender to Jesus is the safest investment we can make. Our only security is renunciation of all that this world holds secure. The safest and the hardest thing we can ever do. Jesus is not asking us to try harder. He is asking us to come and die and therefore live. He is not offering to make us nicer. He is offering to make us new.”
Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom! – 2 Corinthians 3:17
