the death of i

Opening Prayer: Jesus, please make this life—my life—about you and not about me.  Amen.

Scripture: John 12:23-28

Journal: How is God calling you to put the “I” to death today?

Reflection:

the death of i

to live in the i
is to never become
what we were
intended to be

the i must die
else there will
always be only
a single kernel

however if the i
falls to the ground
and dies
more is possible

the single kernel
becomes many seeds
death becomes
the avenue to new life

life that is about
more than just i

so let us learn
to die to i
that much more
might be born

for like jesus
this is why
we have come
to this very hour

now is the time
father glorify your name

Prayer

Closing Prayer: Father, glorify your name!
