Listen to Christ First

"He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name." Psalm 23:3

Somewhere along the way we can lose ourselves. Why this happens I don't know. Maybe it's because we listen to everyone tell us who to be, what to do, how to do it, when to do it, thus causing Christ's voice to be drowned out.

I have often heard women say they don't know who they are anymore or what there purpose in life is. Goodness I have wondered that myself many times.

Honestly I have given into so many demands and commands of others that I have often forgot whose matters most and that is Christ.

Christ defines me. Christ gives me purpose. Christ is the one who has the say in what I do on this earth.

I can tell you from experience that listening to Christ is going to be WAY better than listening to man.

Man is harsh, demanding, unloving, short fused, judgemental, belittling, and many other things. Why? Because they are mere human, we are human. I know those are harsh but we can all be that way at times.

Christ is the complete opposite of man. He is understanding, kind, gentle, patient, loving in all areas, encouraging, and He does not force us.

It's crazy that we choose man over Christ.

I don't know where you are in your life, but if you are being pressured, forced, or just confused about what you should be doing or where you should be, listen to Jesus first before you listen to man.

Let Christ define you. Let Christ lead you to where you should go. Let Christ fill you with purpose.

Otherwise it can be frustrating and even miserable.

Jesus help us to step back into Your will for our lives. You know what is best for us. No matter how hard it might be help us to stand firm in You and who You called us to be. May we find our true identity in You. Amen
