Everything is truly a gift from God. If we were given what we deserved daily-it would be death. It's crazy how all the messages i've been hearing this past week has been centered around, is Jesus sufficient for me? Is He enough for me? If I am stripped of everything, is having Jesus enough?
A lot of truths has been exposed to me this week and it is seriously by the grace of God that his spirit has broken me. We are completely incompletely without Jesus who is the only one that ever did, ever could, ever does and ever will fulfill and complete me. God chooses people to become something they never were to do something they've never done. Being chosen by God is an act of his mercy, his grace and his love for us. Because he loves us, he chooses us and challenges us into big, scary and risky things. We are reluctant but do we choose to answer it or ignore it? Even allowing us a choice is another act of God's love and grace.
I want Jesus to be the one who defines me, not my family, friends, education or society. We are so synchronized with our own culture, how our culture views and accepts things that we become so out of sync with the culture of God's kingdom and what he calls for us to do. Do we choose to be comfortable and settle or do we choose into the scary, painful and risky things that we will experience for God's kingdom?
It's scary. We will experience pain and rejection but I also believe our God is a big God and he is true to his promises. He promises us a hundred fold of what we give up for him and I know that what he has in store for us is so much bigger and better than what we can see for ourselves. The process will be a hard one but it's so worth it because at the end of the day, the only thing that matters and satisfies is Jesus. We can continue looking our whole lives, seeking for things and people to complete us but Jesus is the only one.
