*Be A Nobody* (1)

Simply be willing to be a nobody, to be nothing at all. God only creates things out of nothing. We shall never be anything, until we are willing to be nothing. Be perfectly content to be nobody. He who must be somebody shall be nobody. Human nature wants to make a name for itself, it wants be something special, it wants to something, or be something. Be nothing, and let Christ be Everything. Realize your own nothingness, and be conscious of the greatness of God. 

Be a wretched bankrupt beggar, conscious of your abject poverty and dire need. Communion with Christ make a man leave off sinning, or else sinning will you leave off communing with the Holy Spirit. A man cannot delight in sin while walking with Christ. Satan, the master deceiver, owns your soul until you are redeemed by the Lamb of God's innocent blood. Plead with God for Mercy through Jesus' Atoning Blood. For next 24 hours at least, leave off thinking about yourself, and think only of Christ. Have done with self, and cast all your cares upon Christ. I'm a poor sinner and nothing at all, but Jesus Christ is my All in All. 

By faith make your Substitute and your King. Trust Christ, Obey Christ. Come to Christ as Nothing. Be nothing and Christ will be Everything to you. Cease to believe in your own merits, put away all trust in yourself. You must be Nothing and Nobody Christ Jesus will save you. Be nothing but God's go between, be an ambassador for Christ. We have a treasure in earthen vessels; a ship's captain carries a rich cargo, but he doesn't own a single penny of all the cargo. Admit your poverty, sinfulness, nothingness, and emptiness. Know your own nothingness, see the Savior's greatness. Grow in humility, decrease daily. The nearer you get to Jesus, the smaller self will be. 

Self and Christ can never be close together. Read and Meditate on the Scriptures more, Seek the influence of the Holy Spirit, spend more time in communion with the Holy Spirit. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you a fresh vision of Calvary; live with Jesus, nearer to Him. Jesus must be Everything, or He will be nothing. Leave off doing, and let Christ do All for you. Christ died for sinners, cast yourself wholly upon Him. You must be save wholly by Mercy, or else not at all. Be content to be nothing. Come to the Cross in all your emptiness, need, and misery. Take the Lord Jesus Christ to be Everything to you through Faith and reliance in His Blood. 

Believe in Christ crucified, buried, risen from the dead; accepting His finished salvation, being nothing, and letting Him be everything, doing nothing but trusting to what he has done. Be glad to be nothing, to be last, as long as you have communion with my Savior. Quit sin and self by determined resolve, come to Jesus, rest in Him, cast yourself on Him. Bring nothing to the Savior but your nothingness. Plead your emptiness, Don't take anything with you to Christ except your emptiness, that is all He wants from you. God looks for emptiness to show His grace.
