"Whatever was to my profit, I now consider loss for the sake of knowing Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Jesus Christ my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own which comes through the law, but that which is through faith in Christ-the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith." Philippians 3:7-9
When I consider my relationship to God has His adopted daughter through the work of Jesus Christ, everything else I could ever want is like McDonald's in comparison. My relationship with Him is like a beautifully laid, 5 course, wedding feast. Why would I ever want McDonald's??? But if I stop communicating with my Heavenly Father and stop feasting on His Word, I get hungry, and anything sounds good. That's when I find myself running back to the things of this world (acceptance from others, relationships with others, finding my worth in appearances and money) to satisfy me. And just like a meal from McDonald's, it may satisfy the hunger for a while, but it never leaves me feeling very good and I always seem to never get enough, even when I've stuffed my face full.
The One who created me and the world around me, has invited me to experience the fullness of who HE IS! My lifelong pursuit is to know Him more fully through the three persons of His being: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. And in that, all the things of this world become so much more enjoyable because I am no longer expecting them to give me worth.
And if you haven't already, please check out my husband's myspace and listen to the songs God has given him. Have a wonderful day!
