With Christ...

" It doesn't matter if the world is pulling you down, with Christ you have everything."- Nick Jonas (yes one of the Jonas brothers)

Okay, so as I sit here "alone" I have but one thought. Why do we not give Christ everything, if He has given us everything? He has given us a new life, He gave His life for us so that we could live.

John 17:7 "Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you."

2 Peter 1:3 "His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness."

Now when I see those 2 verses I see that Everything we are given in our lives is from God. And we need to show that to people. Pastor Casey has stated that we need to be "Donkey's on the edge for God" and he is completely right. We need to step out of our comfort zone and get out there and help people.
There are people right around us that we hide from daily. and we need to show them Christ. Now, I know that I am not the one who should be preaching about stepping out of your comfort zone considering I don't step out of mine that often. but we need to. I need to. If we are called to be more like Christ each day. Then don't you think at least once we should reach out? We can't sit here and get tripped up every ten minutes. In Becky's Sunday School class we were told not to give up. I was jump roping for a demonstration and she tried tripping me and I got frustrated and was ready to give up. But whenever we get frustrated we can't give up. We need to have some practical approaches to getting back on track. Start off slow and let God take control.

With Christ alone can we ever truly find who we are. No highly paid Psych can tell us who we are. Christ Can!
