John 12:24-25 NLT - The truth is, a kernel of wheat must be planted in the soil. Unless it dies it will be alone--a single seed. But its death will produce many new kernels--a plentiful harvest of new lives. Those who love their life in this world will lose it. Those who despise their life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
There is a little word in the English language that is not very familiar to a lot of people – it is the word “process.” This is the means that God uses in every Christians life to get from point A to point B. I see a lot of frustrated Christians who are upset at God because of all the problems they are having. They are quick to blame him for all their difficulties but are unaware that they are right where God wants them to be. When Joseph, in the Bible, was given a promise from God that he would someday be a ruler and all his brothers would bow down to him – little did he know that it would be many years and a lot of difficult experiences along the way. In order for him to step into the position that God had prepared for him – he needed to experience some hard times and be tested by fire. There comes a time in every persons life and walk with God that you have to die. You have to die to yourself and to your dreams about what could be. You will have to lay down your life in order for the process to be completed in you. It's not easy and at times you will want to quit but its only in dying that you will truly learn to live and its only in surrendering to the sure hand of God that you will truly begin to understand and do what you we're destined to do.
