Put it Down

As we stand on the cusp of a new year, Susan challenges us to reflect on what we need to 'pick up' and what we need to 'put down' in our spiritual lives. The central message revolves around Matthew 10:39, reminding us that clinging to our worldly lives leads to loss, while surrendering our lives to Christ leads to true fulfillment. This powerful verse invites us to examine our priorities, comfort zones, and the labels we've accumulated. Are we holding onto a worldview that hinders our spiritual growth? The story of creation and Jesus' ministry highlight God's desire for intimate relationship and compassion. As we navigate life's demands, we're encouraged to shift from a worldly perspective to a kingdom mindset, prioritizing our love for God above all else. This transformation allows us to love others more fully and face life's challenges with renewed purpose. #Surrender #NewYear #LetItGo
