Dedication In Life
In Christ's love, always make the choice to dedicate your life to a mission rather than hoping a mission will draft you into something you like to do. No matter what you do in your life, always be willing to fully dedicate your life to the pursuit of what Christ wants you to do and to be. When the Lord has a goal for you, do all you can to always be successful for Him and complete His mission. Every day you are alive, let a fire burn in your heart to never relent in achieving His mission for you. It is God's will, because of your prayers and dedication to Him, all things remain possible in the lives of those you pray for each day.

Die to Yourself By Dr. Billy Graham
Psalm 34:18---The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
In God’s economy, you must go down into the valley of grief
before you can scale the heights of spiritual glory. You must become tired and
weary of living alone before you seek and find the fellowship of Christ. You
must come to the end of self before you begin to live. The mourning of
inadequacy is a weeping that catches the attention of God. The Bible says, “The
Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a
contrite spirit.” The happiest day of my life was when I realized that my own
ability, my own goodness, and my own morality was insufficient in the sight of
God; and I publicly and openly acknowledged my need of Christ. I am not
exaggerating when I say that my mourning was turned to joy, and my sighing into
singing.

God’s Rule For Living
Imagine what your world would be like if everyone decided to follow their own rules and ignore the rules of society. There would be chaos. The order of the world would be gone. In contrast, the underpinning of every human achievement is self-disciple and self-control. Self-discipline and self-control are required to follow the rules of life. God has rules. Unfortunately, we too often do not follow God's rules as we are disobedient and go our own way. However, the consequences of disobedience can be severe. To follow God's rules requires we be self-disciplined and self-controlled. When you disobey God's rules and go your direction, the consequences of disobedience are what we call, the wrath of God. The more you follow God's rules, the more peace, love, caring, and compassion you will receive from God.

Experiencing The Love Of God
How can we experience the love of God? To experience the love of God we must believe God knows us and loves us even when we are very imperfect. To experience the love of God we must recognize there are no strings attached to His love. There are no conditions attached to His love. God's love being unconditional means we do not have to do or be anything in any way to experience His love. This truth about His love being unconditional devastates the darkness. This truth about God's unconditional love heals the body, restores sight to the blind, and makes the lame walk. God's unconditional love is a transforming love. His love transforms you and transforms your world. We cannot will ourselves to experience God's, unconditional love. We cannot will His unconditional love into our lives. We cannot make it, generate it, mold it, or shape His love. We cannot earn His love. All we can do to experience His love is turn away from the sinfulness of our humanity and then open ourselves to His presence. To experience God's unconditional love we cannot want to get it or want to get something out of it. To experience God's unconditional love we cannot want His love to cure us or fix us. To experience God's unconditional love we must nurture His love within our heart without any strings attached whatsoever. If you do not choose to nurture God's unconditional love, your life will not be much of a life. To experience God's unconditional love, you have to trust Him and remember God is for you and not against you.

Praising God Despite Darkness
Praising God is a wonderful part of spiritual life. However, praising God sometimes takes special effort on our part because the satanic darkness of the world tries to drag us down. When Satan attacks us, we have little heart left to praise God. When we are attacked by the darkness of the world, we must carry these burdens to Christ by kneeling at the foot of the Cross. When we carry our burdens to the Cross, we begin to see our burdens are not so heavy. At the Cross, the love of Christ flows down to us and we begin to see everything in His Light and Love. When we experience His Light and Love, then the temptations and attacks by the darkness dwindle. At the Cross, we find the strength to resist Satan and his dark ways.
