I want to share something with you.
With anyone who happens to read this, whether they are my friend or a random person halfway across the world.
Rather, I want to tell you about someone. Someone I want everyone to hear about and love as much as I do.
I want to talk to you about Christ.
Even as I type I realize that any words I could write will never be enough to completely describe the majestic, unfathomable, indescribable (insert any other word along these lines here) beauty and love that is Christ.
Christ came to earth to die for us. All of us.
He came to bear the weight of our sins so we don't have to.
So we could die to sin and have new life in Him.
And with this new life there is a promise. A promise we make to God to love him and live our lives to glorify him. It is not free of struggles, but we never lose hope because we know that we are not seeking glory here on earth because we were destined for another world greater than this one.
And in return God loves us more than anything (or anyone) on earth ever could. Our hearts are filled and everything else we love are just a bonus and way of loving others as Christ loved us.
We are complete.
We are happy, because we know he is our Lord. (Psalm 144:15)
And so we have no need to search for fulfillment because we already have it.
Do you want to hear the best part of this story?
This love that is so powerful and fulfilling is available to anyone and everyone.
All you have to do is accept it and give up your earthly life to live for something (Someone) greater than you are and ever could be.
Allow yourself to be vulnerable in order to be completely filled.
And love.
And be loved.
