For God so loved the world
that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him shall not perish
but have eternal life.
John 3:16 (NIV)
Jesus, I was listening to a podcast that assured me my life would be beautiful if I would just believe in myself. This was supposed to be the way to live a rich, productive, and empowering life. And yet, I know that is not what You teach. You asked us instead, to believe in You. That following You would bring us abundant life. Both now and in the life to come.
As always, no matter what the world chooses to peddle, I choose You, Jesus. Your ways will be my ways.
Questions for Pondering…
Why does the world teach the opposite ways of God?
How can I share the Gospel message of Christ with people who need to hear the truth?
