Content: I don’t believe it is though. Cultivating a life well-lived means nurturing our lives for Kingdom purposes that extend far beyond ourselves. Before we can do for others, we must cultivate the life we’ve been given. What does it mean to cultivate our lives for God’s Kingdom? It means that God’s redemptive plan and the Holy Spirit’s transformative work must be active in our lives on a regular basis. We must not lay down in defeat to the enemy and his destructive ways, nor should we pull ourselves up by our boot straps and make life work based on self-important plans and self-focused mantras. We must allow God’s will and His ways to supersede our own. Our life is given by Him and redeemed by Him. We must choose to actively surrender our life to God and trust the plan He has in mind. This surrendered life grows in humility naturally, because when we surrender, we’re acknowledging our trust in who God says He is and that his plan for us is better than our own plans.
