my rights

Worshiped tonight under a wide open, crystal clear Ugandan sky. Beautiful. We talked about “rights” and how we come from a very rights based society in America. “It’s my right!” When we become Christians we give up these rights as we follow Jesus’ example. Jesus gave up his rights when he came to earth and I need to do the same. My right to be successful by the world’s standards. My right to living comfortably. My right to food I like. The list can go on and on. These things were not promised to me. As a matter of fact I’m pretty sure it says in more than one place that I’ll be uncomfortable for my faith. (Phil 3:10, Acts 5:41) Father God, as hard as it may be, I yield to you. Do anything you will to me, with me, in me or through me that brings you glory. I surrender all rights. Amen.
