FINDING YOUR LIFE

Titus 3:3-7---For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy, he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

You may not lose your life physically, but you can feel like you have died while you are still alive in the body. There can be as many different reasons why we think we have lost our inner life as there are people. Most often, when we lose jobs, careers, opportunities, loved ones, or close friends, a part of our life seems to be taken from us. When we experience terribly deep depression we can also feel there is no life within us. In these times when life within us seems gone, we must remember God is not gone. When we feel dead inside, we must remember the kingdom of God is within us. We must remember the kingdom of God within us does not just blank out or disappear within us. We must remember the kingdom of God and God Himself is always living and alive within us. In life's darkest moments we can stop the deadness within us by remembering God is love.  In His love, there is a light of love within us every minute. The pain of the present moment can be lessened if we take our burdens to Christ who also lives within us.
