Scripture

“The work of God is this; to believe in the one he has sent”

John 6:29

Thought

We can’t help but overcomplicate things. We’re constantly making everything about us. Everything is merit-based. We wear t-shirts with quotes like, “nothing is given, everything is earned.”

This self-centered mentality permeates every aspect of our lives. We gradually minimize God’s part in the equation, foolishly thinking we can do this on our own. We find it impossible to comprehend that God needs us to do less. He needs us to stop trying to earn his blessings, stop striving to be the “best” Christian ever. He simply needs us to believe and demonstrate this through our faith each day.

Our job is to believe he is who he says he is and that he’ll do what he’s promised to do. That’s it! Everything else is secondary. When you truly believe, you can’t help but want to know him better, spend more time in his word, and increase the time you spend in communion with him.

He wants us to be all about him, but he will never reward us for that because he already has.
