For a seed of corn to achieve its greatest potential, it must undergo certain processes. Among them is death to self. Its outer cover has to be shed and peeled off. The inside contents have to come out before changes takes place. To someone who doesn't understand growth, it would look like complete destruction. However, what is really taking place is a complete regeneration from dead to life. Transformation into a new creation.

What is within you that is defiling your spiritual growth or calling? What area of your life do you need to shed and peel off? I am working on mine, what about you.

Philippians 2:5-11

You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
6 Though he was God,[a]
he did not think of equality with God
as something to cling to.
7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges[b];
he took the humble position of a slave[c]
and was born as a human being.
When he appeared in human form,[d]
8 he humbled himself in obedience to God
and died a criminal’s death on a cross.
9 Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honour
and gave him the name above all other names,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.

IT IS WELL. GOD BLESS
