How do you SEE yourself? For many people... What they see about themselves Is not always GOOD... This can be affected by The CHOICES that they have made Or by things that have been Said or done to them In the past... And yet... Jesus died for us all Nearly 2,000 years ago... Before we even were created Jesus paid the price For ALL mankind... Since I have said this About Jesus and what He HAS done... We are presented With a CHOICE... We can EITHER CHOOSE to focus On OUR choices... And the things that Have been said or done To us... OR we can CHOOSE To focus on Jesus And WHAT He HAS Done for us all... Each of these CHOICES Are REAL... But which REALITY Is MORE real to us...? For whichever one We CHOOSE to live in Is the one that is MOST real to us... Now you can say Whatever you like... Argue and disagree With me... But... If you are living With discouragement And defeat... Then you have CHOSEN NOT to live IN who You ARE IN Christ... (Assuming you are Already a Christian) If you identify with What I am saying... Then you need to Grow UP and realise What Jesus has already DONE for you... Paul prayed a prayer For the Saints in Ephesus AFTER... "after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints" (Ephesians 1:15) AFTER he heard Of THEIR faith That THEY were Believers Christians Born Again And the prayer that He prayed was that They would realise WHAT they already HAD IN Christ... He didn't ask God To GIVE them something MORE... Which, sad to say, is how So many pray TODAY... Rather he prayed that: "the eyes of your understanding being enlightened" (Ephesians 1:18) Understand what you Already HAVE... Not what you are Going to become... But realise what is Already within you By Christ Jesus... Realise what Jesus HAS given you: "the riches of the glory of His inheritance... the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe... according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead" (Ephesians 1:18 - 20) Riches of Glory Exceeding greatness His power Which raised Jesus From the dead... All of these Are WITHIN us Who believe... Realise who you ARE... It's a CHOICE CHOOSE wisely...
