Everything that I am and everything I have ever accomplished is in direct correlation to Christ’s presence in my life. When I am focused on the things this life has to offer, I am left with temporary satisfaction. But when I focus on Christ and what he has done for me through salvation and loving me, then I am left fully satisfied and with an eternal gift of life. In 1 Peter 2:9, Peter says, But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Because of Christ I have been permanently called out of darkness and into His light. My worth and value comes from Him and nothing else.
