Set aside

He set aside His rights and royal robes and kingly crown and came.  Here.  Completely limited Himself to what the human body has to offer and all of the limitations and weakness and frailty.

And I complain when I have to set aside my agenda for a day...when I have to limit myself or experience weakness and frailty.

I can't even imagine what Jesus went from, the contrast from Heaven to earth, from spirit to flesh...

He counted it all joy, marking the path, pointing the way, showing the impossible become possible...to set aside, to let it go, and to experience joy not dependent on status or state or situation...so that I can today set it aside and count it all joy.
