A quote I've been pondering:
"Our love for truth is measured by how far towards perishing we are willing to go without seeking to save our lives with a lie." --Art Katz
It's that moment of surrender where you know, as you're letting go, that you can grasp back on at any moment. It's standing over the threshold of a decision to step into the truth or fall back on the false security of the lie. It's choosing to be set free rather than stepping down to the temporary comfort of the lie. Am I dying to myself in every decision in order to experience the freedom that the truth brings? Do I truly realize that Jesus is THE WAY and THE TRUTH and THE LIFE? Can I see that my love and desire for truth mirror my love and desire for Jesus?
Oh Jesus, breathe on me....breath of life come in and change me...breathe John 8:32 into the very core of my being. May I be an available vessel for your truth to flow into, through and out of. May truth pervade my mind, my soul, my emotions and my heart...always...for you oh Lord.....Amen

Amen Laura. What a great challenge to read and what a testimony of how deep the Lord is taking you into His heart. I loved that quote. Truly self death is the hardest aspect of following Christ, but it is also the greatest gift beacuse it frees us to receive His LIFE, abundant and full, in place of ours. Thanks for sharing!
This is a good word. It perfectly describes a conversation I had earlier with a deceived friend of mine. He said, "You know, you don't just accept things. Don't give into the deception." He was talking about the government; subconsciously he was confessing his condition. Crazy!
