I No Longer Live?

We all have an innate desire to be right. We fight to prove ourselves right and true and good. While we can often see the struggle to be right in others, the question really is if we can see it in ourselves. Do you recognize the ways that you try to justify yourself? 

Jesus said it is the “pure in heart” who will see God and experience fellowship with Him. Because we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, who can approach Him?

Christians all over the world are struggling with tempting, condemning and mocking thoughts. Where are those thoughts coming from? Is this just self-talk, or could we be paying attention to a deceiving spirit? To whoever or whatever we yield ourselves to, to that we will be controlled.

Jesus has chosen you as His friend. He wants to work with you to produce fruit for your good and His glory.  He wants to share with you all that he has heard from the Father.  And He has stood between you and our greatest enemies: sin, death and Satan.  

It is hard to be anxiety free if we are worried about our possessions. The critical question is; “What do you treasure in your heart?”

Do you know God’s deep love for you? In Christ, you are a beloved child of God. He doesn’t love you because of your performance or how well you obey or whether you measure up to certain standards. God loves you because you are His child through faith in Jesus Christ.
