A quote I am meditating upon today... Hope it blesses you😊🙏
When we are empty, we are to drink the fullness of God’s love.
When we face temptation, we are to drink of the strength of God’s love. When we catch ourselves feeling superior, we are to drink the mercy of God’s love, remembering that we ourselves are forgiven sinners. When we feel condemned, we are to drink the forgiveness of God’s love. When we feel despair, we are to drink the hope of God’s love. When we feel despondent, we are to drink the joy of God’s love. When we feel apathetic, we are to drink the passion of God’s love. And when we feel lifeless, we are to drink the abundant life that is God’s love. It is all there in Christ. He is the truth and He is the life (John 14:60. We must be rooted in Him and in Him alone (cf. John 15:4-5).
If our lives are grounded in idols from which we are trying to get life, we are building our house on sinking sand. But if our lives are grounded in Christ as “the source of [our] life” (1 Corinthians 1:30), our house is built upon an unmovable rock (Matthew 7:24-27).
