God Wants Me to See What Really Matters

At its heart, Christianity is not about a set of religious rules we need to keep, but about learning to participate in life-giving, reconciling relationships with others in Jesus’ name.
We were created in the image of God, with the capacity to become carriers of God’s divine Spirit, so that we can actually reflect the essence and character of God in the world.
When we stay connected to God through his Spirit, we come alive to God and are empowered to live the kind of life God designed us to live when he created us in love.
When we come alive to the Spirit, we realize that God not only wants me to make a difference but, in that process, God wants me to see what really matters.
Life apart from God’s Spirit is in conflict with life empowered by God’s Spirit.
Through God’s Word and God’s Spirit, God wants us to see what really matters and to begin to prioritize our lives based on what we were created, redeemed, and empowered to be and to become.
A life of true freedom is a life that is invested in loving others well.
Being able to love others generously, sacrificially, and unconditionally is not the result of personal discipline, it is a miracle that God works in us.
Life in Christ is a life of self-surrender rather than self-effort.
· It’s not about trying harder.
· It’s all about surrendering our will to his will for our lives.
· It’s not about trying harder.
· It’s all about surrendering our will to his will for our lives.
Surrendering ourselves to the will and the work of the Spirit of God is what opens the door for the love and the power of God to manifest itself in our lives and in our relationships.
In the process, our hearts are set free from the brokenness of our lives and we are restored to the joy of life in the Spirit, and begin to experience the very purpose for why God created us in his image.
We begin to see what really matters.
We begin to see what really matters.
Since we live by the Spirit, Paul says, let us keep in step with the Spirit.
