We live in a beautiful world. Especially here in the WEST, we have lovely things, or do the lovely things have us?

A one-sentence Text today, with a lot to say.
Are you ready?  Here’s what I think.

First, there must be the Desire to follow JESUS, and for there to be a desire, there must be a new heart, one that desires GOD, and only He can give us that new heart.

Next, for that desire to be present and active in us, there must be a denying of our flesh, like shutting up that incessant cry for “my way”. Like consistently taking a stand of death to this world and its things — yes, we are in it, but not of it. NOW, we are ready to follow Him.

I think that’s it.

Holy hugs, Kathie
