Daily Dying

Question to think about: Will you die?

He received a bonus.
He gave it away.
It wasn't a case of not wanting the bonus
but
he saw a need beyond his own life.
The thing is
he said the experience
gave him
something more
that
he did not
expect: fulfillment.

While giving changes the lives of others, ultimately giving changes the giver.
A true giver dies to self . . . a daily decision . . . to give of ourselves . . . time, talent, and monies. In return, we experience fulfillment of life.

I affirm, brethren, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. (I Corinthians 15:31, NASB)

Choose to die on a daily basis.
Surrender all to Christ.
Give yourself away.
Live.

Learning with you to die on a daily basis,
Kerrie
