“If you grasp and cling to life on your terms, you'll lose it, but if you let that life go, you'll get life on God's terms.” (Luke 17:33 MSG)
Most of us choose to live on our own terms. We follow our whims and desires. We operate from rational, emotional, or traditional perspectives. Christ lived on God’s terms. He was focused on the Father’s will. He remained devoted, disciplined, and obedient. He operated from His Divine nature rather than from His human nature. We too have been gifted with this Divine Spirit. However, accessing this deep inner part of us takes some practice. It’s like training ourselves to sing with a chest voice instead of using a head voice or falsetto. We have to let go of the way we used to do things in order to develop the fullness of power that comes from the deep recesses of our being. When we operate from the Divine Spirit within us, we are able to leave the dead-end road of living on our own terms and embrace a new life on God’s terms.
“May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.” (Ephesians 3:19 NLT)
