I couldn’t figure out what to write today.
I wrote a bit about entrepreneurship, but it sounded angry and that’s not what I was going for, so I’ll circle back when I have more time.
I considered sharing a bit about my Praxis journey. I thought about sharing some of the things going through my head as I prepare for the arrival of my baby. All good things, and probably all worth writing about, but they didn’t seem right for tonight.
I couldn’t make a decision. So, I asked myself: What’s the most important thing for someone to know about me?
Solid question. I gave it some thought, and came up with this:
Jesus loves me.
That’s it.
The most important thing about me is that the God who created all things came down from His throne, took on human flesh, lived a perfect life, paid the debt for my sin on the cross, rose from the dead, and offered me the free gift of eternal life and reconciliation into relationship with Him. All because He loves me.
Funny enough, the most important thing about me, isn’t really about me. It’s about Him.
What’s even greater? I’m not the only one He did that for. He did it for you, too.
If you know Him, then you already know that. If you know Him but you’re feeling distant, this is your reminder of what He did for you.
If you don’t know Him, you can. Call out to him. He’s waiting for you to accept the offer.
I’ll leave you with this:
I was dead in my sins. Deceived by the counterfeit comforts that this world offers. Ensnared in the traps of a very real enemy.
Then Jesus set me free.
The most important thing for someone to know about me? Jesus loves me.
And He loves you too.
