cheerful"Blessed are you who are poor,
for yours is the kingdom of God.
21Blessed are you who hunger now,
for you will be satisfied.
Blessed are you who weep now,
for you will laugh.
22Blessed are you when men hate you,
when they exclude you and insult you
and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man.
23"Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their fathers treated the prophets.
24"But woe to you who are rich,
for you have already received your comfort.
25Woe to you who are well fed now,
for you will go hungry.
Woe to you who laugh now,
for you will mourn and weep.
26Woe to you when all men speak well of you,
for that is how their fathers treated the false prophets.
Luke 6:20-26
It is crazy how this world twists things so much. This world leads us to believe that the things in this life that really matter are having money, having the latest and greatest stuff, and being accepted by people. People who live like that are never satisfied because things in this world change so rapidly. What was cool at one point all of a sudden isn't. It is so crazy. It is impossible at times to even keep up.
But for those of us who are believers we are called to be completely different from that way of life. We are called to live for Christ apart from the rest of the world. Doing things differently then they do. For us having the most money and having the latest and greatest really doesn't matter because we already have the latest and greatest in Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the ultimate prize and the ultimate treasure. Nothing in the world can even come close to Him. He alone brings the most satisfaction. You can keep looking elsewhere but you will never be satisfied with those things the way you can be in Christ.
Christ has touched and restored my life in a way that only He can do. I cannot imagine not having Him in my life. He is everything to me and all that He is to me is so much more amazing and fullfilling then anything else in this world.
Christ is what truly matters in this world. Believe me nothing else can come close to Him. I have searched in so many different avenues for love and have found that it is in Jesus alone that I have been satisfied. All of those other things left me empty handed and broken. Jesus has restored my life and my heart so completely. Their is nothing else better in this world than Christ. Nothing can compare to Him, nothing!!!
Decide today to give your life over to Jesus. You will never be satisfied outside of Him. He is the greatest treasure!!!
