Ever wonder why certain things happen? You’re not alone. Bad things happen to good people and bad things happen to Christ followers too.
So why is it to our advantage to commit our lives to Christ? Well, it not only saves your place in heaven for all eternity, it also ensures He is fighting battles for you and moving on your behalf even when you don’t see that He’s working.
Jesus never promised life with Him would be easy or even easier, but He did promise to never leave you or forget about you. When you try to live life without Him, at some point your own power, might, and understanding will no longer be enough.
Choosing Jesus over self can give you peace that passes all human understanding and joy beyond any temporary happiness this world can give. In essence, Jesus helps to complete us. We are made in His image, He is always with us, and when we accept Him, He is in us too in the way of the Spirit.
Choose Jesus. Life won’t always be what you want it to be, but it will always be more than we can ever think or imagine. So instead of asking why things have happened to us, focus more on Him than the earthly circumstances that will one day fade away when we once again see Jesus face to face.
