Simple Purity.

“And now I’m afraid that exactly as the snake seduced Eve with his smooth tongue, you are being lured away from the simple purity of your love for Christ.” -2 Corinthians 11:3

We were all created to be His. Believe it or not, that is the purpose for our existence. Jesus did not mince words when He prayed to God for the disciples, “And this is real and eternal life: That they know You, The one and only true God and Jesus Christ, whom you sent.” 

Dare to believe that He is enough. Put your Hope in His Love for us. Satan will do anything to keep us from seeing. He will fill our heart and mind with doubt and fear and hate and comparisons and judgments and false idols of all sorts, clouding our lives with darkness so that we can’t see the light burning bright right in front of us. 

It does not do to leave a live dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him. – JRR Tolkien

We live near a dragon. It is not wise for us to pretend satan doesn’t exist, but we don’t have to live under his authority. We don’t have to be lured away from the simple purity of our love for Christ. 

To be His is perfectly more than enough, in every situation… and I mean every single moment of every single day. That is the freedom of being His. 

Dare to believe… one moment at a time.
