Proud Owner of Everything

"You're blessed when you're content with just who you are - no more, no less. That's the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can't be bought.
Matthew 5:5 (The Message)



I can remember a time in my life and career when I, embarrassingly enough, would try to portray an image to other people that was so far removed from who I really was that it was probably clear to everyone else but me that I was just living a lie. God has slowly but surely changed my heart to be just a little more like His in order that I could be so joyfully and humbly content with who I am in Him and who He has made me to be. When you finally discover the purpose that God has for you in this life and when you finally start living out that purpose through the power of His Spirit who lives inside, it is then that you will receive everything that you have ever hoped for or desired in this life. You see, what your heart is longing for, deep down in the caverns of your soul, is to be the man or woman that God created you to be and to live your life in relationship with Jesus Christ in such a way that His Spirit could guide and direct you, every minute of every day, in order that you could receive this great gift of love that will become your greatest desire and will eventually replace all of the other things that this world has to offer that will fulfill you for only a short time and will eventually lead to heartache and despair. Reach out for the love of our Savior today – be content with who God has made you to be and soak up this amazing blessing of life with Christ for He is indeed all that you will ever need!
