2 Corinthians 4:11-12 “For we who live are constantly being delivered over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So death works in us…”
If there is a quiet cry in my heart, I would have to admit that it’s a plea to become more like Him. And since I know that self-preservation is quite prevalent in my soul, I must conclude that the Holy Spirit within me is the One producing the cry. “More of You and less of me” is the song that is sung by my spirit. “Surely there is more to life than this” is my new man’s expectation…
Exodus 33:20 “But He said, ‘…no man can see Me and live!’”
I believe that seeing His face is the key. Being held by the gaze of those firey eyes literally sears the reality of His holiness and His genuine affection upon my heart and I am undone.
And I no longer wish to live, but rather, desire Him to live through me.
Galatians 2:20 “I have been crucified with Christ; and 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 up for me.”
