23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Truly I tell you, it is hard for the rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for the rich to enter the kingdom of God."
25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, "Who then can be saved?"
26 Jesus looked at them and said, "With human beings this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
Matthew 19:23-26
I love this! The reality of who you are in Christ has nothing to do with you and everything to do with God. You see, all you did when you became a Christian was choose to accept what God had already enabled you to receive. It is God who orchestrates the drama of your life in such a way that prepares you to make the incredible choice to live your life not for yourself anymore but for the One who loves you and made you and has the best plan for how you will live on this earth as well as in the life to come. This idea really takes the pressure off since we live in a world that seems very far from God at times and it is Jesus who redeems and heals and restores the brokenhearted so your only job is to daily choose to let His power and love flow through your life in such a way that others will see and believe. Live your life for Him today.
