To Christ be the glory...

Father, your creation declares your greatness and lovingkindness, encouraging statements of pure truth in our daily walk... I'm discouraged many times by those describing their daily events as if your hand is not directly involved in all things we say and do. For if we don't acknowledge that you are with us, guiding us, encouraging us to follow in the footsteps of Jesus then what have we truly accomplished at the end of each day? Is everything we do in this life of our own volition, that which that we accomplish in and of ourselves? By no means! For such foolishness leads us in one direction, and one direction only: AWAY from Christ Jesus. For "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." (Galatians 2:20) The life I desire is one wherein I acknowledge that I have been crucified with Christ. For this approach to life has meaning and purpose, this approach to life leads to life everlasting; not because of what I may have accomplished, but by Christ being magnified in my life as a result of my faith in Him… Thank you, Jesus, for showing us that you are the way, the truth, and the life; THE answer for those committed to seeking the truth in all things!
