In Christ...

I am complete and secure in Christ and He is ALL I need.

I'm trying to embrace this truth this morning.

What an amazing truth it is!

God provides SO many blesses, but none that truly satisfy the need, or longing in my heart for joy like He does.

I read on another blog this morning that we look to be joy-filled from lots of different things.

Right now, for me, it's job security. I just feel like if I had my dream job as a k-6 teacher right now, everything would be perfect. My joy would be complete.

Um...HELLO Kari?!

So. false.

Whether I had that type of job or not, I would find that even that wouldn't bring full, and complete joy or perfection in life. I would still always be looking to the next and the next thing to satisfy.

God may pour in the blessings but I want to strive to remember that NONE of these things are necessary or things I deserve. I'm not entitled to them and God still remains to be the one thing/person that I truly need.

Amen?

Security

I really like checking out the She Seeks website. It's designed to minister to 20-something women, so it often speaks to things I can relate to. They update the "truths" section weekly, and then by the end of the week they usually post some type of video response.

Today's post there totally met me where I'm at.

I just want to feel secure in something, and I don't.

I know, you're probably so sick of hearing it...but that's my big struggle right now.

I really liked this part from today's post:

We can take a step back, take in a deep breath and remind ourselves that in Christ, we are secure. There is no other thing or person besides Jesus who can bring the security, safety and stability that our hearts truly long for in this often chaotic world in which we live.

Whatever your surroundings are looking like this moment, know this:in Christ, you are secure.

Be secure in Christ today!
