The how and the why…

How shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto according to thy word. Psalm 119:9

The answer you’ve been looking for, for so long, is found in laying your life down for others.

That’s the how and the why.

As you’ve done unto the least of these, my brethren, you’ve also done unto me.

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind and soul and love your neighbor as yourself.

No greater love does a man have than he lay down his life for his friends.

How do you lose your life for His sake? How do you die to self?

You lose your life, giving it away, for the sake of others. Lost in a labor of love, that really is no labor at all.

You die to self by becoming alive to others. In becoming alive to caring for the sheep, you become dead to only caring about yourself.

Do you love me more than these? Feed my sheep. Feed my lambs.

Do this in my name. For I am with you always, even to the end of the age.
