The life you deserve
10:43 PM
"Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up." John 2:19
Brokenness has been a common thing. It's not like we want it to come. It occurs slowly; through tiny manifestations that we could easily ignore. One day it will pile up and we will just discover ourselves regressing to someone we do not recognize.
Right now, someone reading this may feel like garbage - aimlessly wandering and has lost their purpose. The life he or she is leading may be like a marketplace in our Good News; noisy, rowdy and dirty.
Then Jesus comes passionately reminding us that this is not how God's child should be. This is not the life that we deserve. We should be living a life that is glorifying God because of the love and blessings he has given us.
We do not deserve a noisy life.
We do not deserve a rowdy life.
We do not deserve a dirty life.
All that we don't deserve, God doesn't deserve. We are created in His image and likeness. Therefore, we should be offering our lives to His purpose.
God wants us to have a clean, calm and peaceful life. He granted this to us through the cross. Jesus loves us so much that He gave His life for us. He redeemed this life that we deserve through His death. For our salvation from all the deceiving demands of this world, Jesus won this for us as He died on the cross and rose after three days.
Friend, you're not meant to be broken forever. You have been granted the power to turn things around; to live your life for the One who has won it over for you.
Father, thank you for redeeming me from the lies and mess of this world. Thank you for accepting me to Your family.
