Who are you living for?

2 Corinthians 5:15

None of us want to feel left out, unimportant or as if we are being used for someone else’s benefit. Even more so if we had given up everything for them. The more we put into a relationship the more we expect to be included, trusted, thanked, valued and loved. Often people tend to think that accepting Jesus into their lives means that once he is in, he can sit on the sidelines, bring us good luck and contribute to our life when we need him. Is that anyway to treat someone who poured out his heart and life for us? Jesus expects us to become part of his life not for us to have him as part of ours. That makes a real difference in how and why we live our lives. That means we do not live for ourselves, our spouse, our kids, our job or anything else. It means we live for him because no one else is worth putting our trust and hope in.
