He Is My All in All

Are you prepared to tell someone who Jesus is to you and what He’s done personally in your life?

December’s Awakening, Day 27

To the hurting, he is the great Physician.

To the confused, he is the Light.

To the lost, he is the Way.

To the hungry, he is the Bread of Life.

To the thirsty, he is the Water of Life.

To the broken, he is the Balm in Gilead.

 —Calvin Miller

To the artist he is the one altogether lovely.

To the educator he is the master teacher.

To the philosopher he is the wisdom of God.

To the lonely he is a brother; to the

sorrowful, a comforter; to the bereaved, the

resurrection and the life.

And to the sinner he is the Lamb of God

who takes away the sin of the world.

 —John H. Gerstner

            To each of us, He is something. To many of us, He’s there when we need Him. And to a few of us, He’s everything to us all the time. Do you know Him or just know about Him? Do you cry out to Him when you’re in agony, but forget about Him the rest of the time? Do you thank Him when a blessing and victory has come your way, but are silent in the day to day of life? Where does He stand in the hierarchy of importance in your life? What do you value most—that which is here, where moth and rust destroy, or that which is eternally significant? To remain spiritually healthy, we need to do a little soul-searching frequently.
