James Is Your Friend

The whole world doesn’t hate you. 

But, even if every person in the entire world was actively and consciously hating you, so what?!?!  If you have Christ, you have everything.  All you need is Christ.  He alone will satisfy.  He alone will fulfill.  He alone should be the basis of your life, strength, joy, security, esteem, and identity.  He is the only one who ultimately matters because He is the only one who perfectly and truly loves you and will never leave you nor hate you…ever.  Stop trying to gain something from everyone else, just gain everything from Christ.

I’d rather be hated by the entire world and have Christ, then to be loved by the entire world and only give half of my heart to Christ.

“If the world hates you, know that it has hated Me (Christ) before it hated you.  If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you” John 15:18-19.

So, my friends, you have a choice: Are you going to get fulfillment from others or are you going to get your fulfillment in Christ alone?

Much love.  :)
