Her world revolves around him.
She’s smitten; the girl is in love.
Her attraction is evident to all of her friends and family. She can think of nothing else but pleasing her new beau. Every conversation involves the singing of his praises. The young woman never tires of sharing how wonderful he is.
Apostle Paul loved the Lord Jesus with all his heart, spirit and mind.
Paul shared stories about his personal relationship much like the young girl. At every opportunity, he told people about Jesus.
He was unable to take out a favorite snapshot from his wallet or to arrange an introduction at a favorite restaurant. Paul relied on the power of the Holy Spirit to place in listeners a deep desire to personally know and love Jesus.
How could he express such love; explain how much Jesus meant to him?
“For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain (Philippians 1:21 ESV).”
Paul's world revolved around his love and witness for Christ Jesus.
How deep is your love?
Does your world revolve around Christ? Tell it; show it.
This world is passing away…
“For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever (1 John 2:16-17 ESV).”
