Proverbs of a 39 yr old man

We have to allow ourselves to live. Its so easy to be afraid of dying but we forget we have to live. We have been given new life in Christ and we are to walk it out by faith. Though outwardly our flesh is wasting away due to the judgment and fall of man. Our spirits are being made brand new because of the life and shed blood of Jesus.

Meditate this: It was only right that God, who creates and preserves all things, should make Jesus perfect through suffering, in order to bring many children to share his glory. For Jesus is the one who leads them to salvation. Jesus, who makes people holy, and all those who are made holy have the same Father. That is why Jesus isn't ashamed to call them brothers and sisters. He says, "I will tell my people about your name. I will praise you within the congregation." In addition, Jesus says, "I will trust him." And Jesus says, "I am here with the sons and daughters God has given me." Since all of these sons and daughters have flesh and blood, Jesus took on flesh and blood to be like them. He did this so that by dying he would destroy the one who had power over death (that is, the devil). In this way he would free those who were slaves all their lives because they were afraid of dying. Death is something we all need to come to terms with but Jesus still calls us to live free from the fear of it. Even if things remind us of our sins, if we have repented we can move forward and live under grace. This is abundant life we can experience now here in the land of the living. Its time.....sin is no longer our master, for we no longer live under the requirements of the law of sin and death. Instead, we live under the freedom of God’s grace. The law of spirit and life is working within us and through us. My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not treat the grace of God as meaningless. For if keeping the law could make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to die. He died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer live for themselves. Instead, they will live for Christ, who died and was raised for them. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; but Jesus has come so that we may have life, and have it to the full. So, enjoy Life today. Enjoy Spirit today. Don't just live a little, live a lot in the Light of His Presence and Grace.
