The world says you can get what you want in life if you believe and behave the right way. You just need to be full of… Self-confidence. Self-value. Self-motivation. Self-effort. Self-interest. Self-reliance. In order words, you need to be full of self. But that simply doesn’t work for long, if at all. The Bible says something radically different: that we need to be empty of self and full of Jesus. So, let us ask God to drain us of all that would get in the way of our more fully enjoying all that He has for us. Looking to Jesus to evaluate, encourage, empower and exhilarate us, we will find the happy life we’ve been looking for elsewhere.
