Am I Showing the Sacrifice?
Today I read numbers 28. In Numbers 28 God tells His people about all these offerings and sacrifices that need to be made. There's one that goes on for like 8 days. Offerings and sacrifice, offerings and sacrifice, offerings and sacrifice, for 8 days. Bulls and rams, bulls and rams. 8 days!
And then I read Mark 9 and Jesus predicts the death He died that we all know about. And He ends it with the whole deny yourself and take up your cross, lose your life to save it." and I thought to myself "wow how beautiful of God to do such a thing for me. For everyone." then I thought, "Do I show that Christ is risen and has empowered me with the Holy Spirit that changed me? Do I show the sacrifice given to me and everyone else in the world that brings me such joy? If I'm not then am I not in all this for myself? Does my family see it?" I treat my family pretty differently I try to be Christ like, but I really suck at it here at home. So i thought to myself if this I'm like this here, maybe I'm giving everyone else everywhere just a show. I do love The Lord absolutely no doubt, but am I showing the sacrifice that changed my life. Am I being the sacrifice? Because I have to be honest I am not seeing it here at home and that's not good because He did the sacrfice for EVERYONE and my family needs to know this. Everyone needs to know. How ugly of me to do such a wicked thing. How selfish of me. I need to change my heart at home and show His sacrifice and be His sacrfice.
Heavenly Father,
Lord Jesus, gosh I am so sorry. I put one heck of a display on for you out there God but when I hone back in. Pssh look how ugly I am. What a two-faced fool I am. God thank you for showing me this ugliness because I need to change this. I need to be showing your sacrifice everywhere to everyone. Gosh God I'm sorry. I don't need a vision or a miracle God Jesus YOU are my miracle. What a wicked mindset to have that I need a miracle from you. I have the miracle of faith. God I will be better and walk better for you Lord I am sorry and I love you. Thank you for speaking to me tonight. Thank you for still loving me. Thank you for your sacrifice. Thank you for life. Thank you for friends. Thank you for YOUR friendship. God please keep letting me experience you in all these different ways everyday. Please help me to get to know you everyday. God I DO LOVE YOU! In the sweet sweet name of Jesus I pray these things.
AMEN
