In this world so many of us hold back. Far too many of us are living in our comfort zones and not living out what God has called us to. For us to live the way God wants, we should die to ourselves each day. Paul says so in 1 Corinthians 15:31, "I die every day—I mean that, brothers—just as surely as I glory over you in Christ Jesus our Lord."
We should be taking up our crosses and following Him...
I heard a song today (I am not sure of the artist or title of the song, if anyone knows please leave me a comment so I can find it again!)
Anyhow the lyrics were something like this:
You have your Savior on the cross
While you sit on the throne
Put yourself up on that cross
Put your Savior on the throne.
It is so true, until we die, thus putting ourselves on the cross, we will continuously live for ourselves, thinking we are above everything, sitting on a throne.
God belongs on the throne...it is time we put Him there and leave Him!

The song is titled "I Know". It is by the group Seventh Day Slumber. It was written about a friend of the lead singer who committed suicide. I was able to see the group perform at Ichthus one year and I was really impressed not just by the music, but by the heart and emotion they shared with the audience.
