Today let us consider the words of Jesus in the garden of Getsemane. "not my will but yours be done" We all remember that this Jesus at his greatest hour He was preparing to face the cross.
While He knew that this time of pain, suffering and sacrifice was the Father's will for Him, for the salvation of all mankind. He wasn't looking forward to what He was about to endure, however scripture says that for the joy that was before He suffered the shame of the Cross. That joy was your and my salvation He loves us so much he considered his suffering of little consequence.
We must understand that God wants the same from us that the word out of our mouths would be not my will but yours be done. we may not have a literal cross to face but I am sure that there are many things we must sacrifice for His will to done. Like our pride, our need to be right, our goals and ambitions, and many other things. we have spent that last twenty days sacrificing food for Him. Let us now move on to giving Him our lives to accomplish His will in us and in the world.
