A Real Change Can Take Place.

Are you concerned about what’s happening with your life? Do you feel it’s really not going the way it’s supposed to go? The years are going by and it’s being wasted? To realize this, can be the beginning of a real change for good in your life. But you need to realize something else as well, what’s happening with your life is not the point.

Where your life is going is not the point. Nothing is supposed to be happening in your life and your life is not supposed to be going anywhere. “Say what?”

That’s right. If you’re in Christ, then your life is not supposed to be going anywhere. It’s supposed to be gone! The Bible says that if you’re in Christ, then you have died with Him. [I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me Galatians 2:20]. So your life isn’t going anywhere. And the biggest problem you’re having with your life is that it’s still your life. In other words, you’re all concerned with your life, all wrapped up with it. You might think it’s godly but it’s not.

Let go of the ownership papers to your life, and you know what will happen? The burdens and sorrows and heaviness of your life will lift. You see living your life is very heavy. But living His life is very light.

So start living in Him, through Him, and with Him. He will set you free from your burdens and pain. He will remove your darkness, and cause you to rise in His light and love. Be refreshed and renewed in Him and live life in victory, His victory!
