Philippians 3:8-10 “Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on my faith that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his suffering, becoming like him in his death”
I found this verse today, and it did more than speak to me, it remind me that all the things that were my life before Christ meant nothing to me. That I was not living with a purpose. It was a lifeless life that had no hope, trust, and love from Jesus. I remember when I did learn about Jesus. I remember how my heart felt so full and not hurting, I remember my eyes were open wide looking at this new life I had just been given.
If you are in the same place I was a year ago not believing in Jesus I pray you open your heart out to him, maybe try watching an online church service or trying to pray, learn the lyrics to a worship song. Leave the life filled with pain and suffering and begin a life with Jesus filled with purpose. All you have to do is say to him “Jesus I’m ready, I’m ready to begin a new life with you.” Jesus is waiting for you. He already knows your name, he knows your story not just the parts that you let the world see but the full story with both the good and bad. He wants to forgive you. He wants your hardest times to have the greatest purpose. He loves you! If you don’t already have a personal relationship with Jesus I pray you start it today.
