Welcome to your Rainbow Connection!
Matthew 10:39
"Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it" (NIV).
This was one of the very first scriptures that was enlightened to me in 1996. My first thought was, 'What, do you want me to die or something?'
I was a very insecure and fearful individual at the time who tried to hold the reins of life ever so tight—so tight, in fact, that I feel certain that my knuckles were white from gripping so hard!
I learned, day by day, that God's ways were not my ways and that if I did "die" to myself every morning to my selfish desires and wants, my day would go much better.
Eventually, I did lose my life, but I found it through the cross of Christ, the place I hadn't bothered to look. Hit me over the head with a two-by-four, somebody!
Not everything in God's will is handed to you or laid at your feet when you ask or pray. It is given to you as you walk along, and you learn to become obedient to His will day by day. It is not an easy walk, but it is the BEST path for your life. On this path, you will finally find yourself.
God bless you and have a wonderful week as you lose yourself! Until next week!
Love,
Molly
