Many people are beleivers in Jesus and yet they are living a life where they do not deny themselves and lay their life down for Jesus. Jesus lived a life where He poured Himself out each day. So much of His time was spent giving to people. From the time He came back from prayer each morning to way past sunset He was giving His time and spending His power on people. Many people gave to Jesus and His disciples and Jesus went about sharing that money with the poor.
If we want to look at the life we should live, we should follow in the footsteps of Jesus. We need to lay down our wants, our desires, our lusts, and we should humbly seek to honor God though loving Him and loving all of creation. The Gospel takes money and the people doing that work need our money to operate. In order for us to give, we need first to deny ourselves and put God above of what we would want to spend our money on.
Living a laid down life is simple and easy. Living a life of total surrender might be hard at first, but it really is liberating in the end. Forsaking all, to follow Jesus is where true freedom is found. When we let go of self, and we pursue what God wants, then we are truly satisfied with the life that we live. Take it from me. A surrendered life, a life that is totally laid down for God and His purposes is the best sort of life you could ever have. Gone is the striving. Gone is the thirst for more of what the world can offer you. You can finally be at peace.
