I used to dismiss that because it seems like there is no biblical context to this sentence. In addition, I find that there was no basis to what statement.
But the more I attend bible school, I begin to realise that my life is not for me to live anymore. Others can don't work for their parents but I cannot. Others can travel but I cannot. Others can work for big firms but I cannot. Others can curse and swear but I cannot.
What is wrong with these sentences? Perhaps because I don't qualify my 'cannot'. But in all those sentences, I find that all my qualifications come from a very simple reason - because I love Him and honor him.
Others can choose to not take over their parents' business and I cannot because I love and honor my parents.
Others can choose to scream, shout, jump and be angry and sad and I cannot because anger gives a foothold to the devil.
For, it is no longer I who lives in me but Christ who lives in me.
