I choose Jesus every day because I used to choose “Mark” every day. And left to myself, life wasn’t getting better. In fact, “Mark” was getting worse without Jesus. And without Jesus, those around me were impacted by the increasingly unhappy, stressed out, frustrated, striving, full of care, angry “Mark.”
Although I wasn’t always aware of it, I used to live like this life was all about me. I was wrong. This life is all about Jesus, and He wants to give us all that He is. Wow, what a blessing.
Jesus makes all the difference in this life. With Him, we have a clear choice. This is what repentance and newness of life are all about – And He rewards us with His times of refreshing. Off with the old (Mark), and on with the new, Jesus.
Choose Jesus, and choose Life.
Thanking and praising God in all things,
Mark
