“Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.” Colossians 3:1

Christ did die and he did rise again just like he said. He did return to the Father and is seated at his right hand forever more. Now he has sent his spirit to live inside of us and be with us always. Hallelujah! Now we are no longer doing this hard life on our own. We get everything we need when we need it. It’s no wonder people are suicidal and depressed all the time because they don’t have hope. It’s a difficult life and then we die. That is so sad. If people only knew what they are missing out on because they are blind to what’s really going on all around them. So many amazing and awesome things and wonderful promises are ours. We can be depressed looking at all that is going on around us or keep our eyes on the prize like Jesus did. We are his prize just like he is our prize. So many things await us as children on God. I never really saw them when my eyes were busy trying to get everything I thought I needed. But now I hardly need anything because he has become my everything. Now that I live by his truths and not my own truths I can see how well they work. You don’t even need to care about Jesus or even believe but the blessings and curses just keep happening just like he said they would and now I can live with that power on my side instead of it working against me. He does not expect us to do it on our own. We have other brothers and sisters through the church. And he helps in so many ways. Do you want wisdom, strength, peace, just ask. If we ask believing we can have what we ask if it’s God’s will and is best. Only he knows what is best but we need to accept that he knows the whole story and trust his wisdom. We have a rich inheritance waiting for us when we do get home. Also rewards for a life well lived for the kingdom. So much to look forward to.
