Matthew 23:11

life, God's perspective,

Colossians 3:1 (MSG)
So if you're serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ, act like it. Pursue the things over which Christ presides.

See things from his perspective.

real, life, counsel, belief, rooted, faith,

Colossians 2:6 (MSG)
My counsel for you is simple and straightforward: Just go ahead with what you've been given. You received Christ Jesus, the Master; now live him. You're deeply rooted in him. You're well constructed upon him. You know your way around the faith. Now do what you've been taught. School's out; quit studying the subject and start living it! And let your living spill over into thanksgiving.

grain, die, let go, seed, sprout,

John 12:24 (MSG)
"Listen carefully: Unless a grain of wheat is buried in the ground, dead to the world, it is never any more than a grain of wheat. But if it is buried, it sprouts and reproduces itself many times over. In the same way, anyone who holds on to life just as it is destroys that life. But if you let it go, reckless in your love, you'll have it forever, real and eternal.

See them all gathering, coming to you? As sure as I am the living God"—God's Decree— "you're going to put them on like so much jewelry, you're going to use them to dress up like a bride.
