Walking in Empathy

In this powerful message, we're challenged to embrace the transformative power of dying to self and cultivating true empathy. The central theme revolves around John 3:3-7, reminding us that being born again is not a one-time event, but a daily surrender to God's will. We're called to 'kill our flesh' daily, allowing God to consume everything that isn't aligned with His purpose. This process of surrender is likened to a brush fire, burning away the old to make way for new growth. The message emphasizes that our current struggles and anxieties may be God's way of refining us, preparing the soil of our hearts for His seeds of purpose. As we die to self, we become vessels through which God can touch others, exemplifying Christ's empathy on the cross. This challenging yet liberating perspective invites us to view our difficulties as opportunities for spiritual growth and increased empathy towards others.
