My Life In Christ

Love Uplifts, Energizes, And Restores

We live in a selfish, "its all about me" oriented society, where the goal is to be the best, and get the most money, power, and possessions, because the belief is that these things will make you happy, but there is a great amount of evidence that being 'on top of the world' does not bring happiness, just new stressors and problems. God has been trying to tell the world where true happiness lies, in human relationships, in love, in loving Him!



Love can do things that money, and houses, and 'toys' cannot do; it is uplifting to your heart and mind. We all want to be loved because being an object of someone else's affections makes you feel valuable and cherished. It brings life and hope into your heart, and you feel energized and powerful; you don't have to take power from someone else. Love is healing and it restores what was once taken from you; your wounds are treated and transformed from heartbreak to happiness, from fear and suffering, to peace and joy. We cannot live victorious lives without love, peace, and hope.

....Peace, Peace, All Around Me, Yet None Within My Heart.....

We can delude ourselves into believing that we are happy and well adjusted, especially when everything in our lives seems good, but the truth becomes apparent when we go through trials and tribulations. We find out that the house of cards we were living in was fragile and easily destroyed. Power and money are only effective in giving us temporary pleasures; when real tragedy comes knocking at our door, we find out very quickly how much control we actually had in our lives.

God knows who we are and what we really need; we need Him. He is the one that give us peace in the midst of a storm, He gives us the ability to fight our way through the issues of our lives by acknowledging He is the one that can help us and solve all of our problems.
By putting Him first in our lives, we enable the Lord to transform our weaknesses into our strengths, to make our failures into victories, to calm our fears with peace and joy. There are people who go through their lives everyday in suffering and pain and do not realize that God is watching them, that He is present with every broken heart, every feeling of loneliness and abandonment, every pain and injustice that they go through.

He is there and He wants to help them, He wishes to heal them, but they are unaware of His presence, they seek their answers elsewhere in fake theologies, idols, or self help regimens, and they have rejected Him in their hearts; they are doomed to go through life seeking peace and restoration everywhere except at the Throne of Grace; peace is everywhere all around them, and they are oblivious to its existence!

 

We Have The Gifts Of God, Which Is Power, Love, & Control

When we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we become new creatures, citizens of the Kingdom Of Light; we become lovers of God and His standards of living. We offer ourselves up to Christ, who died for our sins on the cross, who thought so much of us that he was willing to take our punishment that we earned honestly and truthfully for our fallen human nature, weaknesses, and for our foolish mistakes. No one is exempt from this punishment unless they have decided to take the Lord's gift of salvation.

Once we make that decision, we are free to live our lives in Him; no longer burdened by our past sins, we can leave guilt behind and begin to build a better and brighter future for ourselves and the people in our lives. we now live in hope, in a world where hope is almost gone. He gives us the power to live in peace with ourselves, our families, and with our neighbors, and love is foremost in our hearts and minds. We can control our weaknesses by giving them to the Lord, who gives us the Holy Spirit to transform our hearts and our minds. This is the true source of power and happiness!

If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, I encourage you to do so now. Seek Him now while is able to be found, and give your heart and mind to Him. Ask Him to come into your heart and you will be amazed at what He will do!
