Have you been sick? Struck down with illness?
Have you been out of a job? Struggling to put food on the table?
Have your friends forgotten you? Your family fed up with you?
Ever wonder why? No matter how hard you try, the pit you’re in gets deeper and more ominous?
Thoughts cross your mind? Who are you? What have you stood for? What will you leave behind?
... Have you lived your life one day to the next? Paycheck to paycheck? Emotion to emotion?
Nothing to leave your children? Your spouse? Friends? What will they remember? A kind word or grumbling? Conversations or arguments? Words of love or words of sarcasm?
1 Peter 2:11,21-25
Friends , this world is not your home, so don't make yourselves cozy in it. Don't indulge your ego at the expense of your soul. ……. This is the kind of life you've been invited into, the kind of life Christ lived. He suffered everything that came his way so you would know that it could be done, and also know how to do it, step-by-step.
He never did one thing wrong,
Not once said anything amiss.
They called him every name in the book and he said nothing back. He suffered in silence, content to let God set things right. He used his servant body to carry our sins to the Cross so we could be rid of sin, free to live the right way. His wounds became your healing. You were lost sheep with no idea who you were or where you were going. Now you're named and kept for good by the Shepherd of your souls.
There’s nothing in this world worth passing on to your loved ones, except, the love of Christ. He died for you, in your place, with your name on his lips, with love for you in his heart. Why? So that you may know that there is a place for you in heaven with your heavenly father. He does not require you to suffer or labor for this position.
All God asks is that you believe. Believe Jesus died in your place, so that you may live. Live! Today, accept him as your Savior, ask him to fill you with the Holy Spirit.
Starting today, right now, leave a testimony for all to see and hear. Out of the deep, dark abyss, God had delivered you into light. His light.
Die so that you may live your new life in Christ Jesus. Die to self, live for Christ.
