I’ve felt — and consistently feel — so intensely loved by God that I seek to settle for nothing less than His will for me. (Matthew 6:33) Being consciously aware of God’s fervent and sacrificial love for me has made my life about the great pursuit of putting my all into pressing closer and closer toward Jesus Christ (Philippians 3:14) and the purifying fire of His Spirit. (Matthew 3:11-12)
Jesus came for us all (John 3:16) to set us free (John 8:32) from our pride (James 4:6) and our sin (Matthew 1:21) so that we can be empowered (1 Corinthians 4:20) to humble ourselves, seek His face, turn from our wicked ways, (2 Chronicles 7:14)) and be continually led and directed by His Spirit (Romans 8:14) instead of by our own feelings, desires, and opinions. (Luke 9:23)
The way to get to know Jesus isn’t by watching, supporting, and being a fan of a streaming series about a fictionalized Jesus. It’s by opening the door of your heart to the living resurrected Jesus Christ (Revelation 3:20) and allowing Him to come in, live within you, (Colossians 1:27) and take direct daily control of your life by His Spirit. (Romans 8:14)
