A Word of Encouragement

Each one of you is marked for greatness, whether you know it or not. Being marked for greatness simply means you have been given the opportunity to walk with God.  You are marked to hold the hand of your Savior as He takes you down His path for your life.  Many ponder the meaning of life. Still others talk about their bucket lists; but I have come to the determination that all is senseless compared to knowing Christ.  Like the apostle Paul, I have not attained this to the full measure but I press forward.  The prize is Jesus.  The meaning of life is Jesus.  The bucket list is Jesus.  It all ends and begins with our precious Holy Spirit.   If you do not come to this conclusion then you will continue to walk unfulfilled.   He is the blessing and only in knowing Him, pursuing Him, loving Him can you truly live. I fell so hard for the Lord and I cannot help this passion.  I encourage you; with all I have within me, by presenting to you the gospel of Jesus Christ. You have been reconciled to God.  You have the opportunity to know Him intimately! Grasp this deep within your heart.  Meditate this truth.  Let it sink so deep within you…the love of our amazing God is endless and He chose to pour His amazing love out on you!  Enjoy Him, preach Him, honor Him and love Him.  This is life.  This is the gospel!

Philippians 3:7-14 Amplified
“But whatever former things were gains to me [as I thought then], these things [once regarded as advancements in merit] I have come to consider as loss [absolutely worthless] for the sake of Christ [and the purpose which He has given my life]. But more than that, I count everything as loss compared to the priceless privilege and supreme advantage of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord [and of growing more deeply and thoroughly acquainted with Him—a joy unequaled]. For His sake I have lost everything, and I consider it all garbage, so that I may gain Christ, and may be found in Him [believing and relying on Him], not having any righteousness of my own derived from [my obedience to] the Law and its rituals, but [possessing] that [genuine righteousness] which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith. And this, so that I may know Him [experientially, becoming more thoroughly acquainted with Him, understanding the remarkable wonders of His Person more completely] and [in that same way experience] the power of His resurrection [which overflows and is active in believers], and [that I may share] the fellowship of His sufferings, by being continually conformed [inwardly into His likeness even] to His death [dying as He did]; so that I may attain to the resurrection [that will raise me] from the dead.  Not that I have already obtained it [this goal of being Christlike] or have already been made perfect, but I actively press on so that I may take hold of that [perfection] for which Christ Jesus took hold of me and made me His own. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider that I have made it my own yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the [heavenly] prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”
