Owning Nothing, Enjoying Everything - Philp 3:7

to accpet Jesus as my Saviour means i resign all rights to jsutify my sin before Him; it means i resgin all right to my self - my time, my talents, my future, my all.

That is where my difficulty is - resigning "myself "

To surrender my rights to myself means surrendering my rights to :-

1. My Reputation - Phil 2:7
2. My Place of Choice for Service - Luke 9:51
3. My Possession - Luke 9: 5 - 8
4. My Demands - Matthew 20:28
5. My Privacy and Immunity from the needs of others - Matthew 14:16

When i became a Christian i thought, how wonderful to be rid of the burden of sin's burden or responsibility ! But when i became disciple , Jesus put another burden upon me - burden of others.
