when Christ is your everything.

when Christ is your love - you love others from a place of strength. your love for others is no longer proportional to the love that other people pour into you - rather it is proportional to the love which Christ continually pours over and through you. your love is endless. boundless. deep. full. raw. you love others when they are unlovable. your love is unconditional - it no longer requires others to meet certain qualifications.

when Christ is your hope - your security and satisfaction are no longer situational. the uncontrollable and unpredictable variables that live within every dimension of life: your health, your wealth, your relationships, your sanity... the variables that once haunted your thoughts and polluted your happiness - they become nothing. it isn't that they have been dismissed in apathy or denial. it is that the one thing that consumes your thoughts and saturates the dimensions ...is Christ. Christ who is steadfast. constant. loving. bright. strong. sufficient. in a world of confusion, chaos, pain, brokenness - Christ brings genuine peace to those who hide themselves in the shadow of his wings.
