"Christ is all; and in all."

"Christ is all; and in all." (Colossians 3:11)

Christian...

Don't look for identity in what you do or who people say you are. Christ has made you a child of God!

Don't seek protection in people you have in your life. Christ has made God to be your Protector in every situation.

Don't look for acceptance from friends or people you respect. Christ has made you acceptable to God.

Don't search for fulfillment in friendships. Christ has already said that you are His friend, and who could be a better friend than Jesus?

Leave off the search for love in a boyfriend or girlfriend. Christ has made you complete in Himself!

Never give in to the idea that you are as secure as the people and friends make you to be. Christ has given you eternal security in Himself!

Don't seek to ease the guilt that comes when you fail by running to temporary pleasures! Christ has forgiven you once for all! You are washed in the blood and that never will need to be repeated.

...Your life was not created for you, but rather, for Him. Let Him be in the center; let Him be all!

Every Girl's Battle

I walked all alone down the leaf-strewn sidewalk, my hands in my pockets. A dark figure came out of the shadows and walked towards me. I could not make out who it was, but I sensed an evil about him -an evil that threatened my beautiful surroundings. And then he spoke in a forceful tone. "You had better face it. You are alone, and it will always be that way. Nobody really loves you. You just think they do. Really, though, you are alone." I tried to fight back the tears as the reality of his words sank in. Was it really true? People seemed to like me, but really, did they? It seemed true enough. I was all alone in this world. Nobody really wanted to know what I had to say or think. It was just me, and that was it. Deep in thought, I failed to notice that the dark figure had left me to think about his lies alone.

A Secret Weapon

As I sit here, getting ready to share with you the biggest thing God has been doing in my life lately, I must start by being real. It is so easy to sit back on a morning when I feel no battles, no struggles and just live like I don't think I need God. Other days its so easy to worry about life and think about every detail of everything and wonder if it's going to be ok. Still other days, I find myself listening to Satan’s lies and believing him even though I know they aren’t true. Do you find yourself doing those things too? Why does Satan lie to us? Why is it that life seems"easy" one day, and then the next is the hardest ever? Let me help you out with this…

When Life Hurts...

Recently, I went through a very painful experience. The death of a dream I had thought was coming true. The loss of something I thought I had gained permanently. Never had I experienced something so difficult before. Never had I guessed that this was going to happen to me. ...But it did. And it hurt. I praise God for His healing power at work in me... As I write, I write not only to you, but to myself as one who is learning on this journey too.  This morning, as I was reading in the Psalms, I came across a Psalm that hadn't stood out to me in this way before. As I read, I realized that I was looking at me in the mirror of God's word.
