Starting Strong

Paul wrote in the Bible: “I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.” It may sound extreme, but he’s describing what it means for Jesus to have first place in our hearts. He’s describing what it means to live the Christian life.

It is our prayer that these encouragements and insights from Our Daily Bread will help you deepen your relationship with Jesus and allow Him to transform each area of your life. As you get to know Him better, you’ll discover how good it is to be His. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened,” He invites us, “and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).
