December 23: How Can I Personally Partake in the Atonement

Today in My Utmost for His Highest: http://www.myutmost.org/12/1223.html

Dear Jesus, Today's lesson has to do with our willingness to conquer our wills. Mankind is so inclined to be selfish because we were born with the sin nature. Help us to totally realize tht "the bedrock of Christianity is personal, passionate devotion to the Lord Jesus." Yes, it will be painful, but to identify with You and reach that place of joy and peace, we have to crucify that selfish nature and let it die. The new person that you will resurrect us to be will change the world around us!!! Thank You, Jesus!!
