Galatians 6:14 (NIV84) — 14 May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
This morning I can’t help but yearn to be different, to be completely sold out. I don’t have glaring “worldliness” as we would think of (those who are in Christ), yet I know that I have so far to go. When I read this passage I felt this yearning inside of me to be more sold out. There is within me a remnant of this world (the system of practices and standards associated with secular society), and in order to operate in the Spirit like Paul did I must get rid of it. Maybe being in danger of death all the time was helpful for him to make the cut with all of it, I don’t know. I just know this – I want more of God, more of the Spirit, more of Jesus shining through me, and in order for that to happen “I must decrease and He must increase.” Come Lord Jesus!
