A question to
ask yourself today, “Am I complete in Christ?”
People ask me all the time how I’m so happy all the time. They ask me
how I have such a great marriage. They want to know why I can get along with literally
anyone. The answer is simple. I am 100% complete in Christ. Everything, and I
mean everything, I’ll ever need is found in Jesus Christ. The world can’t tell
you that. It doesn’t sell books, it doesn’t make the movies, it doesn’t sound romantic.
I was complete before I met my wife. I was complete before I landed my job. I
was complete before I went to college. The list goes on and on. Now the time is
getting closer and closer for me to be a father and guess what…I’m complete before
I ever hold my child.
So what does
all this mean? It means I have a good marriage because I’m not counting on my wife
to fill a gap she can’t fill. It means I’ll be happy when the child keeps me up
all night because Christ is the reason for my happiness. It means no matter how
others treat me I will continue to always see the good in them because Christ
saw the good in me.
I want to
challenge you today. Go against society. Don’t listen to those around you when
this world tells you a girlfriend, a wife, money, education, fame, friends,
hobbies, etc will complete you. They won’t! Jesus and Jesus alone is the only thing
that will bring you 100% complete happiness. Sure we’re going to have bad days
and days we just don’t have the same sense of happiness as we should. But the
difference is our joy is never shaken. Our hope always remains.
Surrender
completely to Christ and I can tell you from firsthand experience, THAT is
where you find the person you’ve always hoped to be.
