"Jesus Breaking In"

When someone breaks into our car or our home and steals from us we feel all kinds of emotion. Anger, fear, a need to get even with the thief, or just a sick feeling in the pit of our stomach over what they took and what we lost. We take all kinds of precautions to prevent a break ins. Locks on our doors, alarms on our cars, secure neighborhoods and garages. We do this because we can see the physical loss caused by a break in, yet we fail to protect ourselves from the spiritual and emotional break-ins that happen to us everyday.  Every day our society nibbles away as our esteem trying to convince us that there is something wrong with us, that no one loves us, or that we have no value.  Like taking a little poison every day, we slowly die as the thief sneaks in silently convincing us that it isn’t worth fighting anymore.  Although the bible teaches us that with Christ in our lives we will spend eternity in heaven, it also teaches us that our relationship with Jesus is supposed to affect us even while we are on earth. Jesus came to bring us life; abundant life.  Are you tired of break-ins?  Then it is time to let Jesus the Security Master give you life to the full.  He is waiting to embrace you and convince you of His love.
