Giving Up the Throne...

What does it mean to place Jesus on the throne of my life?

How do I go about doing it?

It's about letting go, it's about purging, it's about praying...

It's about hearing and listening to His voice...

Some days I get it right but most often, I mess it all up.

I like to be in control. I like sulking in my self-pity... but only to a degree.

Then I end up sick with myself. God nudges my heart and something happens.

I realize that bitterness is never the answer. At least it's not the answer I want. Bitterness only causes more strife, more arguments, more bitterness.

I saw this phrase recently,

"Love is never afraid of giving too much!"

Why am I afraid of giving too much? Do I not really have love?

It's because I forget this very important fact:

I can only love when I receive and acknowledge His love!

There is no way that I can produce love on my own.

1 John 4:19--- "We love Him because He first loved us."
