“If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News, you will save it.”
Mark 8:35 NLT
There are things we do in life that we enjoy more than others. We often call them hobbies and like to devote our spare time and a portion of our resources to that endeavor. I would like you to keep in mind that we as people here on this earth are not fully alive until we enter a relationship with our Lord. When we dive into a life with Jesus by our side, we begin to experience true and powerful living.
This life with Christ is infused with his energy, his love, his peace and his joy. We find purpose in our lives that we never knew existed before. We get lost in his service, in helping others that brings a satisfaction we have never known before. Our days are filled with blessings and challenges that grow us, remake our lives and fill us with a deep love and peace.
I believe hobbies are fine but we shouldn’t trade such activities for the opportunity of being fully alive in Christ. I myself choose to spend my days In experiencing a life with my savior. The fullness of his love and the peace I receive carry me from day to day, from victory to victory!
In Christ
