What does God mean to me?
Is a question that many a believer might run into, and one that some might not be brave enough to ask. So for those who are interested, here is my answer.
Christ is more than a forgiver of sins; he is a brother, a friend and an advocate.
Christ is more than just a sacrifice; he is compassionate, understanding and an advisor.
Christ is more than just a man of his word; he is THE WORD, THE WAY, THE LIFE and LIGHT unto the world and the only TURTH.
Christ is more than comfort; he is my strength, my compass and my guide.
Christ is more than religion; he is not found in routine, not found in a building or place, not confined by any constructs of man or mind, not restricted by statements of good deeds. He can be found mostly in the mundane, the daily grind, and the regularity of life. He is the God that appears in the darkest places, the most unlikely and dirty. He can be found with whom we think is insignificant, undeserving, that is who he is to me.
For you see he lives with in me a place that even I once tried to avoid. A place that once was as described above, dirty, dank, uninhabitable. But now through his word and love, a change has occurred. Since I have made Christ the ruler of the realm, a clean up has begun and ripples of change can be felt throughout the landscape of my heart and continue to emanate from within.
What does God mean to me?
He is LIFE. The best I could possible have. The happiest, most fulfilling experience possible. The greatest adventure I can imagine an unfathomable joy. The question should not be “What does he mean to me?” but “ What doesn’t he mean to me.”
