TRUST

"Jesus answered and said to him, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God'" (John 3:3).

 

There is only one way into the Kingdom of God--birth.  You have to born a Kingdom citizen.  There is just no other way.  Nicodemus (the conqueror) had to give up his self-willed, self-directed, self-controlled ways and he had to become a helpless baby.  God is not interested in our wisdom and our ability, rather he has His eye on our dependency.  Jesus says the same thing with different words in Matthew 5:3, "Blessed are the poor in spirit (the spiritually bankrupt), for theirs is the kingdom of heaven".  God wants us to move from "me" to "He".  It's not so much about trying as it is trusting.

 

Today, God is not counting on you to get it right--you usually don't.  He is not looking for what you will do, but rather He is looking just for you.  It's a great day to be born again!
