Galatians 2:20“I have been crucified with Christ; yet I live, no longer I, but Christ lives in me; insofar as I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God who has loved me.”
Paul Bon Jovi (and gLee)

“I have been crucified with Christ; yet I live, no longer I, but Christ lives in me; insofar as I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God who has loved me.”

I just want to live while I'm alive
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life

God to Paul: “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness”
“I will rather boast most gladly of my weaknesses, in order that the power of Christ may dwell in me.”
2 Corinthians 12:8-9
KENOSIS = self-emptyingEverything is God’s work. If you take away what is of God, then there is nothing (but my will).
KENOSIS = self-emptyingEverything is God’s work. If you take away what is of God, then there is nothing (but our will).
When we see God’s INFINITE POWER and our EMPTY HANDS, we can then see how much sense it makes to submit our will to God.
