Give Up Your Rights For A Greater Cause….

The only proper response to God is humble gratitude. Even if we think we are right in any given situation, God is more right. In the end He is in control. It’s the number one reason people reject God; they refuse to humble themselves. It’s the reason why people refuse to serve Him. What most people never understand about their rights is this: in order to fully live out freedom, you have to be willing to give up your rights for a greater cause. The love of God is that greater cause. He has forgiven us, so we ought to forgive others, including ourselves. What is the definition of forgiveness? Giving up your right to get even. The difference between a saved and sanctified believer and everyone else is he/she understands what’s rights he/she really has and is willing to give them up out of gratitude to the Giver of those rights. Love and forgiveness is what lacks in the world today. Ask God to give you a daily dose so you can truly start to live again. The right attitude starts with knowing your place. And that starts with your walk with the Lord. Extend God’s love and forgiveness to someone today. Be that ray of hope in someone else’s life. Point them to Jesus, by being Jesus “with skin on”.
