Then Jesus said to His disciples, If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. Matthew 16:24-25

 

Have you ever lost something and began that diligent search in hopes to find it? To your surprise, you find something else you forgot about a long time ago and that satisfies you more than the original thing you were looking for. Sometimes it’s good to lose something, as it helps you discover something even better.

 

As we journey through life, we search for happiness, peace and satisfaction. Our search comes up with new relationships, new things and new experiences. But, after a while they become stale and our happiness wanes. In our search to find that original “good feeling”, we find Jesus, right there to fill the void during our moments of emptiness. He always comes through….even when we search for something outside His will.

 

The key to keep from losing your “first love of Christ”, is to start your day with Him in prayer, thanksgiving and making Him a priority.  By doing so, you avoid searching for happiness in all the wrong places. He is everywhere and if you are in tune with Him, you will never lose that joy, that peace and satisfaction that only HE can provide. Dont lose Christ today, find Him in everything you do and He will make your day complete! God bless friend!
