Lies from Satan pour into my head, as I search for my significance and true fullness of Joy. Many times I feel as though I have no true reason to press on, I have failed so many times and disappointed so many people. Secretly I believe I understand and know what I must do, but I am not quite willing to make that choice to accept it. Feeling miserable and unworthy, my selfishness and pride is keeping me from believing the truth. As I continue to hear lies I struggle with believing I am stupid, incapable, selfsufficient and worthless. Fighting the emotions and struggles, pushing truth further and further away, I ingnore the still small voice of my savior calling me back. Telling me that he is there, whispering I will never leave you nor forsake you. How amazing is his love for me. The struggling still goes on as I refuse to listen to the one who died for me. Soon I begin to realize I really am nothing, nothing but dirt from the ground. A filthy rotten sinner that deserves eternal separation from Christ. The scripture Romans 5:8 comes to mind, While we were yet sinners Christ died for us. How precious and deep is the Love of Christ for us. I begin to lay myself aside and listen to the one who created me. Romans 8: 37-39 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us..... I begin to understand the truth as the Lord slowly reveals himself to me. Christ's love is sufficient for my life and he is the reason I live. Jesus Christ loves me and is pursuing a personal relationship with me each and every moment of every day. The Lord reveals another truth to me through Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. And the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me. Making the choice to completely surrender everything is not easy, but in the long run it will be more than worth it. I know that without Jesus I am nothing, but the Lord is my helper and I will not fear. Hebrews 13:6 Man can do nothing to me because I belong to Christ! Living in the Moment, Morgan Ruckel
