For none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone. If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. (Romans 14:7-8 NIV)
We all belong to the Lord. We are His creation. None of us were created to live without Him or without one another. Of course, there are those who have chosen to live without Him and to live thinking only of themselves and no one else. They are the centers of their own universe. Living without our Lord is a very sad thing for them and for us. Life without Christ ends up being a self-centered and empty life; a life that ends in death alone. But, with Him we can know the joy and peace that comes only from living reconciled to God and one another.
May God help us to live life fully for Him within the Body of Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. May all that we say and think and do glorify Him!
God's Peace - Pr. J
