To be clear - Jesus is my Lord, my Savior. He is the LIGHT of the world, without him there is nothing. I’ve wrestled lately a lot with the point of all the earthly things. Why we do what we do… and at the end of the day what does it gain us? If it’s not for Jesus, it’s for nothing! All things can work together for his good, but I’m finding we as humans, his creation, forget him in so many things. We only turn to him in the best of the best or lowest of lows. Sometimes we only turn to him to yell at him and tell him how we think we can do better. We gripe and complain, but friends WE ARE OWED NOTHING!!! ACTUALLY WE ARE OWED SOMETHING - DEATH (Roman’s 6:23)! For none are righteous - no not one! We can’t cast stones because our hands are already so filthy from our own sin! The only thing we deserve is our own misery and separation BUT GOD SAID NO I LOVE YOU! He said YOU ARE MINE AND YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AND WONDERFULLY MADE! Surrender the things that hold you back from living for the Kingdom and don’t look back!
At the end of a very busy October wedding season, and looking towards holidays. My hope and prayer is this. That we step back and honestly and critically evaluate our lives. Do we look like the rest of the world, or do we look like the light of Jesus showing love and patience and endurance with those who seek to destroy.
STOP AND CONSIDER JESUS. CONSIDER THE CREATOR. If he were physically with you all day, what would he see? For those getting married this year or next, reflect with your fiancé! Talk about what you want your marriage to look like! How will you bring Jesus to the center of it! Here’s to being the embodiment of Christ in this next season!
