What You Are Meant For

What if you could have Jesus the way Peter and John had him? The way Mary andy Lazarus did?

You get to.


You are meant to have this Jesus, 
more than you have each new day,
more than you have your next breath.
For heaven's sake--
he is your next day, your next breath.
You are meant to share life with him--
not just glimpse now and then at church,
not just a rare sighting. 
And you are meant to life his life. 
The purpose of his life, death, and resurrection 
was to ransom you from your sin,
deliver you from the clutches of evil, 
restore you to God--
so that his personality and his life could heal 
and fill your personality, your humility, and your life.
This is the reason he came.

Beautiful Outlaw, 161, 162
