The Lord calls me to be a dead man. Dead men don't have a voice nor do they do anything in their own will. Dead men have to be told what to do and they also don't have emotion. They don't complain and they don't grumble.they just listen and do, nothing more and nothing less. They have submitted themselves to the way of the Lord. Submit, "to stop trying to fight or resist something: to agree to do or accept something that you have been resisting or opposing.

The Lord looks at my heart, not what I am doing for the face I might be putting on. Because I am people but for the Lord.

He will give me the strength to submit because I can't do that in my own strength. All strength is of the Lord and to follow his call and to become a dead man it must be done with his strength in me.

Jesus Christ came to this earth with the wisdom of the Lord in Him. He had an ear willing to listen to God’s voice. Being more like my Lord, Jesus Christ, is something that I try to strive for on a daily basis, and every single day I fall short of that because I am imperfect, but if I carry the wisdom of the Lord with me I don't have to trip up on the little things. If I practice wisdom and I mean really practice it, I can only imagine what God will show me in return. God calls us to love each other unconditionally because why? Because it wise. My Lord understands how wise it is to love one another as He has ...
