Teach Me How To Live



Philippians 2:5
In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus.

The Lord knows I cannot have the same mindset as Jesus Christ. 
Not on my own, no matter how much I try.
No how-to-books can change me.
Nor mere knowledge, will and determination.
Jesus would have died in vain if I can do it on my own.
Jesus didn't have to die on the cross for me if my heart,
  on my own free will, can become like Him.

It is so nice to know that it is Jesus' job to change me.
He made it clear that His words are not read with disregard.
It is so nice to know that I do not have to work hard for it.
Reading and chatting with Him just eventually become pleasurable.
It is so nice to know that He is willing to wait..
until the time that I would say: 
Lord, I surrender.  Teach me how to live.
