My greatest desire for my life is to be a good husband, son, father, brother, friend, and most of all follower of Jesus Christ. One stanza from the song Where I belong by Switchfoot sums up my desire for this life best, saying:
And on the final day I die
I want to hold my head up high
I want to tell you that I tried
to live it like a song
And when I reach the other sideSee this world is not my home and I understand that. I long so desperately for the day that I will once again become whole and stand before Jesus. Until that day comes my greatest desire is to serve Him well on this earth.
I want to look You in the eye
And know that I arrived
In a world where I belong
I want to share Him with the whole world. I want to take my family and spend the rest of our lives shining a light into the darkness to this world. I know I am completely saved by faith and nothing else and yet every step I take till the day I am restored and reunited with Jesus is an opportunity to extend His kingdom. I want to honor Him with my lips, my actions, and my thoughts.
Jesus would've still been walking this earth in His resurrected body two thousand years ago. He was still lifting up, empowering, and preparing His followers for what was to come. He was preparing them to receive the Holy Spirit, the Helper, so that they would be able to accomplish the task before them. Because of Jesus coming to this earth, pouring His life into the twelve disciples, teaching, dying, rising again, ascending to heaven, and leaving the Holy Spirit then, we are able to know the truth of the gospel that sets us free from the curse and receive the Holy Spirit in our hearts now. Don't waste another second with this world when you could be living sold out for Jesus! I pray that on the day you die you will be able to hold your head up high and know that you arrived in a world where you belong.
Here are some relevant Verses to Jesus' resurrection for reference and study:
