"I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the [life] which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. Galatians 2:20
If you decided to allow someone full control of your life choices, you’d want to be confident they could be trusted. You probably know people you wouldn’t want applying for the job. Jesus offers full life guidance with every resource at His disposal. He owns everything, after all.
To take advantage of this offer, you simply put your own selfish interests aside and let Christ take over. If it sounds like an easy trade, you can be sure it’s not. While Jesus will honor His side of the offer, you will struggle to let Him. There will be times when you’ll want your own way, when your way conflicts with His plan, and when His plan makes no sense to you.
You need to embrace selflessness because it’s the only way Jesus can work through you. You give up your rights in order to discover the new life He designed for you.
Godly wisdom allows you to say, “My old way of thinking is gone. Jesus lives here. I will serve Him because I trust the One who loved me enough to give everything for me.”
