I Carry . . .

Daily writing prompt
What is the most important thing to carry with you all the time?

The most important thing that I carry with me is not a thing at all. I carry hope (both with me and within me). To be a bit more specific, I carry what the Bible calls: “Christ in you, the hope of glory.”

I want everyone to become a Christ-carrier! No one should miss out on such a glorious lifestyle! That kind of spiritual awakening depends on our full surrender to the living Jesus, not on passive sermon-hearing.

I love to see
Amazing grace
Gleam and shine
From someone’s face.

I love to see
People let
Jesus replace
Their self-focus
With His grace,
And watch Him erase
Their sadness and guilt.

I love to see
Christ’s joy shine
On people’s face
With no trace
Of human pride.
That happens when
They embrace
The risen Jesus
With all their heart.

I love to see
People surrender
To the presence and grace
Of “Christ in you,”
And go far beyond
Routine religion.

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
