Christ is My Everything

Since I gave up the notion of having my own personal life and accepted Christ as the only life (Colossians 3: 4), I now understand that His Life covers everything I need to enjoy life now and forever.

Christ's Life includes abundance, blessing, deliverance, forgiveness, freedom, grace, healing, joy, love, peace, perfection, protection, provision, redemption, relationships, salvation, truth, wholeness and wisdom.

For instance, two days ago, my flatmate texted me to let me know they had been given food at work and she was going to bring me some chicken noodles. She even brought me some chocolate cake. 

In other words, the food I received from my flatmate is Christ's Life as provision.

I had half of the cake and kept the other half and the chicken noodles in the fridge. Today  I had the chicken noodles and cake and it was delicious.

Thank you, Lord, for being everything I need.  ❤️
