This week in Beth Moore's Bible study,
"Living Beyond Yourself", we learned
10 Characteristics of the Crucified Life:
1. Few will understand.
2. You must abandon your own will and your own agenda.
3. Your intimate spiritual companions will be few.
4. Intense times of aloneness with God are required.
5. You will be constantly on the witness stand.
6. You must go "outside the camp" (outside your comfort zone).
7. There will be times when your dignity is forfeited.
8. You must forego your rights.
9. You must accept that death is painful.
10. Because He was forsaken, you never will be.
Am I really ready to live the crucified life?
Can I go with You, Lord, on the road to Calvary?
Only through You living in me, dear Lord.
And, thank You.
Thank You, God, for these wonders of Your love:
