Pensamento:
"Preciso me encontrar." Nunca vai acontecer. Não "nos encontramos" ou "encontramos nossa vida" perseguindo-a. Achamos a vida ao perdê-la em algo, ou alguém, maior do que nós mesmos. Achamos a vida ao perdê-la para Jesus e a obra do Seu reino.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
"I've just got to get away and find myself."
If that is our goal, we must know it won't ever happen. We do not "find ourselves" or "find our life" by pursuing it (Matthew 10:39). We find life, true and lasting life, by losing it for something and someone greater than ourselves. We find our lives by losing them to Jesus, to the work of his Kingdom, and to the grace of blessing others and bringing them to Jesus (Matthew 16:25).

Mestre e Criado de tudo que vive e respira, tome a minha vida e cada respiro e use-o para a Sua glória. Que minhas palavras e ações hoje possam agradar a ti. Ofereço esta oração e louvor através de Jesus. Amém. || http://www.iluminalma.com/img/il_lucas9_25.html
My Prayer...
Master and Maker of all that lives and breathes, take my life and make it yours. Use my every breath for your glory. Holy Spirit, I trust your transforming work to make me more like Jesus, more JESUShaped. Lord Jesus, I pray that my words and actions are pleasing to you and consistent with the way you lived while on earth. In the words of your servant, David, I pray:
May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. (Psalm 19:14)
Through the mighty intercession and authority of Jesus, we offer you this prayer and our praise, O God. Amen.

 Dizia a todos: Se alguém quer vir após mim, a si mesmo se negue, dia a dia tome a sua cruz e siga-me. Pois quem quiser salvar a sua vida perdê-la-á; quem perder a vida por minha causa, esse a salvará.
