God is calling us away from ourselves. He wants us to empty ourselves of ourselves, and fill ourselves with Him. I have this longing and a hunger for ministry, hands on serving God. It’s something I have a burden to do. Christ gave His life for me, the least I can do is give my life to serve Him. 1Peter 2:21-24 says, ”For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.”
We need to follow the example that Christ set. We aren’t going to be perfect, but we have to try. James 1:2-3 says, “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. When the storms come we need to draw nigh to God, James 4:8 says, ”Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.” He’ll give you peace and joy. We may not be happy we may be sad, but we still can have joy in know that Jesus Christ has given us everlasting life by freely giving His life on the cross. We need to fill ourselves with Jesus Christ.
