Have you ever asked for a second chance? It’s safe to say we all have! What’s great is God has enabled second, third and fourth chances by sending Jesus to die for our sins. His sacrifice allows us to be who we are meant to be in Christ.

The way we become who God wants us to be is by setting our hearts and minds on things above.

Colossians 3:1-2  (MSG)

He Is Your Life

3 ^1-2 So if you’re serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ, act like it. Pursue the things over which Christ presides. Don’t shuffle along, eyes to the ground, absorbed with the things right in front of you. Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ—that’s where the action is. See things from his perspective.

When we fix our minds on Jesus, that is when everything falls in place for our good. No, it won’t be all smooth sailing. The enemy will still attack because he doesn’t want to see us succeed, especially in Christ. Just remember what you do for Christ will last. Continue to strive for a mind like Christ. Jesus knows our personal story because he is the author.

I encourage you to look at Christ when chaos and storms come. Let us refrain from looking at our issues and focus on the solution (Christ). When you seek Christ, you find peace. Your story may have started out bad, but focusing on the goodness of the Lord and living the life He has designed is turning you into a walking testimony.
