Everything that goes into a life of pleasing God has been miraculously given to us by getting to know, personally and intimately, the One who invited us to God. The best invitation we ever received! 2 Peter 1:3 (MSG)
Years ago when I worked in emergency rescue, our team received a strange call. A burning manure pile on an acreage had been reported but when fire fighters arrived, they found something surprising.
This was more than just a pile of debris—it was someone’s home. A man had burrowed a tunnel under the manure pile and was living there. He had suffered smoke inhalation and as paramedics attended to him, police went through his possessions to salvage what they could.
They were surprised to find that he had a quart sealer filled with rolled up hundred dollar bills. Even more incredibly, they found jar after jar buried everywhere. This man had thousands of dollars and yet he lived in terrible conditions.
Similarly, many people could be experiencing a life that’s so much better than what they’re living. We have been given so much but we often do not access it. 2 Peter 1:3 says “By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life.” (NLT)
You are meant to experience life at a level that’s beyond imagination. Christianity was never meant to be just a religion. Jesus actually came to end religion and restore our relationship with God. He paid with His life to give you what you were always meant to have—relationship with God and a life that’s amazing in every way. Do you believe it?
