Do you ever find yourself shutting down and going into self-preservation mode? I do. I honestly hate that place. It can become debilitating. It’s also a powerless place to live.
God began unlocking my heart today and exposing where self-preservation had moved in. I was more concerned about hurting a relationship than I was about that person’s eternal destiny.
Revelation 12:11 says, “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.”
We overcome by salvation—the blood of the Lamb applied to our hearts, covering our sin. We overcome by our testimony—how we’ve seen God work in our lives. No one can dispute what we’ve seen, heard, and experienced. But we also overcome by not loving our lives to the death—not going into self-preservation mode. It’s being willing to risk it all—even in the face of death. Every disciple of Jesus paid a high price for following Him. We may, too.
Risk.it.all. Risk it all, Becky!!
