All I Have Is Christ

Today I was reflecting on just the phrase "all I have is Christ" and typically a phrase like that (with anything other than Christ) would have negative connotations like, I have nothing, but ____, which would usually not be much. 

But in this case, having Christ, to know and be united in Christ, to have eternal life and be found in Him, to have your name in the book of life, to be called His friend and son, to have Christ means so much that parabolically when you find it you'd go and willingly sell everything you have.
 

Sitting at the otrain stop facing financial 'difficulty' in the next year, practically starving, exhausted from this life and burning out rapidly,




 
I have Christ.

Who cares about he rest of that?
 
I have Christ, but more so, God has me in His hands and won't let me go.

this week I've felt so humbled

last Sunday I felt like crap and just hated everything and said a lot of garbage to a friend without thinking it through. So I stopped everything and just went and prayed. Probably the best quiet time I'd had all year. 

I know God loves me.

Monday as I was leaving work I tripped on the stairs and like smashed my head into the super hard staircase

my neck still hurts,through all of the translation and lunch overseeing I felt so helpless havign no ability to actually do things, but being fully reliant on what everyone else was doing.

Having my friend leave halfway through thursday when I had planned to spend all day with her and share the gospel hopefully, and instead I was now alone at the dinner, which is the thing I wanted to avoid.

having to go to work on Friday morning with like no sleep.

I have nothing

but Christ

and it's really humbling

but I know I have Christ

All I have is Christ, and that is enough.
