To the World vs. To God
To the world, you may feel like a nobody, an outcast, or even invisible. But to God, you are His creation, formed with a purpose. Even if your heart feels hopeless, broken, and your dreams seem shattered, take heart—lift your head up. You are loved, you are called, and you are chosen.
Through Jesus, you can be made whole. His love for you is so great that He gave His life so you might have eternal life in Him. In Christ, you can find hope, peace, joy, love, purpose, redemption, and strength. No matter where you are or how far you feel you’ve fallen, He will meet you right there.
Jesus is the ultimate healer. No matter how broken you feel, by His stripes, you are healed. Don’t believe the lies that you’re too far gone. You are deeply loved and created with divine purpose. Find your identity in Christ.
Searching for Fulfillment
Many people spend their lives searching for something to fill the emptiness within—money, fame, drugs, careers, relationships. These pursuits may bring temporary pleasure, but they cannot truly satisfy.
• Money can lead to greed and will never buy true happiness. You can’t take it with you when you leave this world.
• Fame can breed pride and vanity, leaving you constantly striving to meet impossible standards.
• Drugs lead only to destruction.
• Jobs may pay the bills or give a sense of purpose, but they cannot fulfill the soul.
• People, no matter how much we love them, will eventually let us down.
When we fall short of the world’s standards, we search for something—anything—to define our identity. But even when we gain everything the world offers, we can still feel empty. That’s because nothing in this world truly satisfies.
We were made for more. In Christ alone, we find all we need: love, joy, purpose, and fulfillment.
Make a Declaration
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. I choose to lead my household to Jesus Christ, the Rock that is higher than anything in this world.
• When I rise in the morning, I will serve the Lord.
• In moments of solitude, I will serve the Lord.
• In the dark of the night, I will serve the Lord.
• Whether on the mountaintop or in the valley, I will serve the Lord.
In Christ alone, I find life and fulfillment. He is the great I AM. Jesus is all I need. To serve the Lord is to truly live.
Reconciled in Christ
“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.” (Colossians 1:15-18)
It pleased the Father that all His fullness should dwell in Christ, reconciling all things to Himself through the blood of His cross. Whether on earth or in heaven, He made peace for us. In Christ, we are restored, renewed, and made whole.
