I am sure of one thing in life. Jesus. I honestly don’t understand how anyone goes through their day, let alone their life, without Jesus. I did it for some time and it was remotely unsuccessful, lonely, and somewhat worthless. I am happy that Jesus has filled the void that was in my heart and life and I am humbled to be chosen by the creator of the universe. woah. take that in for a minute. Becoming a Christian is simple, living a Christian lifestyle…not so much. I read my bible, I pray, I believe it, I understand it, I trust it, I desire it, I crave it, I grow in it, I devour it, I need it but…do I LIVE it?
My mind is stuck here. Nothing satisfies me more than Jesus. Nothing else can redeem me, rescue me, mold me, refine me, grow me, protect me, provide for me, guide me, or fulfill my every need, desire, and goal. How come I can’t take my faith and put it into action like Jesus did?
I see it all around me, Christians that don’t practice what they preach. They have the act down but that doesn’t go far with Jesus. He says HE KNOWS their hearts and will turn away from them because He does not know them. That scares me but it also reminds me of God’s grace for us. We mess up, we live messed up lives, and we lead messed up people even if we are more messed up than they are. Make sense? No. BUT God still loves us THE SAME. I think I should end here.
We will never get it right, but that is humbling, we will never deserve God’s love, but we have it readily available, we will never understand the price Jesus payed, but it is waiting there for us anyways. Where are you today? Do you live out the Gospel? Are you hiding behind your sin and masking who you are to everyone? It is okay to break, for when you are weak, God is strong and HE will work through you…but you have to let him.
