True Life....

1JN 4:9 NIV
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

Forget what the world has told you: true life does not consist of power, possessions or position, but in the personality that lives inside of you. There's something flawed about a life that has no inner substance, no inner drive or influence that determines its function. Right from creation, it was never God's intention to leave us alone. It was his plan to walk with us, to talk with us, to show his power through our lives so that people will see Him in us. Sin took care of that, but Christ has restored that relationship now.

It is therefore important that we check our inner condition: who's dictating affairs in our lives? Who's truly living in us? Are we still struggling with the remote control, trying to share control with God in some areas, afraid of totally letting go? Am I still afraid that if I let go completely, I may lose my identity? In the first place, outside of God, there's no you. Whatever you are now or whatever you will ever be, is tied up with God. He's the owner of every life and life must be lived on his own terms if it is to be enjoyed.

He has shown us his love by giving himself, and he now counts on us to do the same by giving him our lives. If you want to truly live,give God control. If you wan your life to be meaningful, give it to Him who can give meaning to every creation of his. Whatever he has made, he can sustain. Need  life? Get true Life- Christ himself. His time of favour is here.
