If You Only Knew

A couple of years ago a realization broke through my thick skull that has changed my life.

The ONE and only, JESUS, is all that matters.

You're probably thinking, "That's so cliche." I guess it is. I thought I knew that truth. It wasn't until something happened in my life that made everything around me blur into oblivion. I had two choices:

1. I could choose to believe that things of this world matter more than Jesus.
2. I could choose to believe nothing in this world matters more than Jesus.

If my hope and happiness lies with anything that is perishable--politics, success, wealth...even my children, family and relationships--then I am lost.

Likewise, if I believe I can take the place of Jesus to anyone on this earth--then I am lost, and exhausted.

Jesus is the only One who can save me. Such a simple truth. But once I figured that out, it has changed my life.

Peace. Joy. Hope. Love. Freedom. These are gifts that He gives me over and over.

Jesus replied, “If you only knew the gift God has for you and who you are speaking to, you would ask me, and I would give you living water.”
John 4:10
