I was not intelligent as people thought I am. Reading the Scriptures made me realize how very little knowledge I have truly acquired in my 19 years of living without Christ. Now, I thank God for His Spirit who makes me intelligent.
I was flawed as everyone else and I still am. But my flaws no longer define who I am. My identity is now in Christ.
I couldn't hide the tears when I'm hurting. My closest friends would say I'm a crybaby. But now, only my Father in Heaven sees my most bitter tears. I wonder how many bottles He's already holding in His hands.
You will know when I fake a smile 'cause it does not reach my eyes. But now, I have all the reason to smile as long as I have Jesus in my life.
Many people may think I am strong enough to live on my own. But no. The truth is, I can't do without Jesus. I will never be able to carry on without Him carrying me during the toughest moments in my life.
There is nothing I can really boast about.. but the fact that Jesus loves me so much, you will never see the end of it!
My friend, He loves you, too.
"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends." (John 15:13)
Jesus did just that... for us.
Have we thanked Him today?
Did we spend time to seek His face?
Have we consulted Him about His agenda for today?
If yes, then we've started our day right.
If not, we still have plenty of time to do so.
