When all is said and done---when we have finished the race--- the one true and everlasting gift--- we will carry forever---that can never be taken away from us--- is how we chose to nurture our soul--- in great faith! How do we nurture our soul and grow in our faith with God? My hope, my prayer, is that you are inspired by over 360 episodes of Deb's podcast bringing you to that very next level of learning to live as faith filled Christians in Christ Jesus.
Faith.....How are we possessing it, in real time? We have this grandiose opportunity as Christians to choose Christ, and make Him a priority over everything else going on in our very lives. Surely, we can still enjoy this life, only we place Christ first in everything we think, say, and do.
To live in Christ--- right now --- one can see more clearly, Christs hands blessing and touching everything happening to us. Where there is faith there is much growth, and where there is much growth there is greater meaning and purpose. And within that meaning and purpose, we see God working within every single aspect of our daily lives.
Having faith, having faith in Christ, is having endless possibilities that bring us to places, circumstances, and people, that share our very beliefs. Not only that, but while living in Christ daily, we can imagine, we can expect, a very spiritfilled outcome, having Christ being in the center of our hearts.
Christ is the fuel bringing every answer we need to know through our prayers. And as we move and are and have our being in Him, we do actually go alot further in breaking free of boundaries, prosperingin this life and moving full throttle in his presence.
Christ is beauty. We are beautiful in Christ. In a sense he is the force that propels us to do great things and become great people, he gives to us his almighty power to be used properly and for his greater glory.
I am in Christ. You are in Christ. We are in Christ. He is not finished with us yet, although we have been his awesome creation, from the beginning of time, on the exterior, Christ is still perfecting us interiorly. In order to be beautiful inside and outside, we need God to help us unravel the mess we created, that will bring us back to his original beautiful creation we once were.
We were meant to be in his likeness and image. Nothing should deter us from that reality. For my brothers and sisters who are hurting, renew your relationship with God today. Do something totally different. Keeping Christ first! Its a great idea to begin this Lenten Season with Christ in the forefront of our lives, protecting, guiding, and preparing us, for the rest of our pilgramage toward him.
The beauty of Christ will forever remain just that! It is up to us to seek Him out, and to walk with Him all the way home! Whether you are a hiker, explorer, hermit, find Christ exactly where you are. Begin again, and again, and again. See Christ in a different light this time. Remove any judgement, and welcome Him with your love. Sometimes that is all he wants from us. So that His love can cover you completely, and a newness of self can begin to grow again in a new and different light. And if that is just too much for you right now to handle, just start with saying his name, Jesus! And in his perfect timing he will call on you and you will hear his voice and you will know exactly what to do.
In the meantime, my daily prayers are with you. You are never ever forgotten. We walk by faith trusting we will see the holy face of our Lord when our journey is complete. We will be complete in Christ Jesus.
