The Wasted Life


I have been thinking a lot about what Jesus has been teaching me. What does it mean to say that I truly give my all to Jesus? Why is it so hard for us to totally lay down our lives for Him. I heard this quote by John Piper, " God created us to live with a single passion to joyfully display His supreme excellence in all spheres of life. The wasted life is the one that is without this passion." What a powerful statement.... So often I get so wrestles with my life and don't want to stay where I am but often miss out on all His blessings for me.

I have been thinking about how we have a reason to be here on this earth, and that is to share Jesus with the world. How many opportunities we have to shine. Our lives should reflect this life of Jesus, that is our true purpose.

Oh Jesus, we are nothing without You. I am so in love with who You are. Thank you for loving me, more than words can say. Thank you for providing a way for me that is everlasting.

This is just a little bit of what Jesus is revealing to me.
