The Blessing of His Intention

I want you to know God intends for you live a pure and completely full life. Ephesians 1:4 encourages me with this truth through the following words: "For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight." I hope you are encouraged today to know God chose you long before you were ever born. This choosing was done in love through the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ.

New Possibilities

The Enemy of our soul loves to squash Truth. You've heard his whispers of doubt and lies. He has whispered to you in the midst of difficulty. This enemy specializes in raising questions to enable a distrust of your Father.

Jesus came to this earth to demonstrate Truth. Although He came as Messiah, there were many moments when His disciples struggled to believe in the Truth that He was Messiah. Yet, their questions and unbelief didn't make it any less true that He was the Son of God and came to save them and us. Their despair didn't make it any less true that He died to set them free. Their discouragement didn't stop Him from rising from the dead.

We all face moments of questioning, doubt, discouragement and despair. We may have difficulty grasping the Truth that God is All we need. This is True because of what His Son accomplished for us in His life, death and resurrection.

The possibilities of the new year are already accomplished through Jesus Christ. Am I in the place where I can embrace His possibilities for my life? The reality of life in Christ. The reality of freedom in Christ. The reality of healing in Christ. The reality of fellowship in Christ.
