Look Not to Yourself...Look to Jesus Christ

One's own pride and rich arrogance in self and spirit glides them comfortably into hell, yet the other's broken and poor position in Christ and Spirit ushers them into eternal life in paradise. 

If you are struggling and have no freedom, if you are lonely and have no companionship, if you are afraid and have no confidence, if you are weak and have no strength then LOOK NOT TO YOURSELF. If you are angry and have no peace, if you are depressed and have no joy, if you are selfish and have no compassion, if you are sick and have no healing then LOOK NOT TO YOURSELF. In yourself there is no hope nor power to change, in your self there is no emotion nor faith that can turn you around. But if you are WILLING, you can receive freely the ONE who has everything you need to live forever in freedom, companionship, confidence, strength, peace, joy, compassion, and healing. The ONE who is Love is behind you. Turn around from your selfish ways and receive Jesus Christ as your very Life. His work for you is the only work God will accept as righteous and worthy. Jesus gave his life for yours before you really knew it so that when you learned about his work for you on the cross and resurrection you would come to him in humility, brokenness, and a realization and acceptance that you have nothing to offer him that could ever make you right, but that Jesus himself has the very Faith, Hope and Love you need to be made whole. To be finally fulfilled and complete is only possible when you freely receive Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God as your personal Lord and Savior. He is the only one who has the power to wipe away the stains of your sin on the day your sins are judged, and mediate for you before a Perfect and Just God. 

...that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, BECOMING LIKE HIM IN HIS DEATH, THAT BY ANY MEANS POSSIBLE, I may attain the resurrection from the dead. (Philippians 3:10-11)

...Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I PRESS ON TO MAKE IT MY OWN, BECAUSE CHRIST JESUS HAS MADE ME HIS OWN. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: FORGETTING WHAT LIES BEHIND and STRAINING FORWARD TO WHAT LIES AHEAD, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:12-14)
