Ephesians 2:4-5
But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions – it is by grace you have been saved.
Everything that is set up in this world eventually dies. Fallen creation is dying. Everything I try to grasp at in this world fades away. My attempts at sustaining myself only highlight its futility.
Thank God that He restores my life when I am with Christ! God does not expect us to revive ourselves.
Jesus is not a vitamin supplement, something extra to fit into life. He’s not a dessert, a reward for having a good life. He’s our complete sustenance!
When you are feeling like there’s no life in you, go and feed on His love. Just put yourself in a place to receive, just as you are (you don’t clean yourself before taking a shower!). You will come alive when you are with Him!
Prayer: Father, your love comes right when I need it. It sets me free whenever I feel bound. Jesus, I come alive when I’m with you. I ask for your grace to abound over me.

That's good stuff.
"Jesus is not a vitamin supplement...he’s our complete sustenance!"
That is so true, and until we begin to live in that truth then our faith will have little power at all.
Keep it comin!
