Embrace where you are.

When you become a Christian, you have a new character. The old temptations you used to have are not as desirable as they once were. When you embrace where you are and what God has done for you, it makes God more desirable than any temptation the world has to offer. This is what it means to love God.

It’s not just the verbal agreement that Jesus is the Son of God that shows others our faith. It’s embracing the significance of that truth. When you come to a point in your life where you can grasp and understand who God is and what He stands for, it’s then that you know without a shadow of a doubt that God is real. He sent His Son to come down to earth to be born, to live as a man, and to die on a cross, for our sins. And to be raised on the third day. This is the power of God.

Embrace where you are today. Life may not be as you want it to be, but know this: God is good and He wants nothing more than to give you the best life. 

You are where you need to be. God planned it. Engage in the life God wants you to have today.

James 1:2-4 – “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”
