You Become What You Pursue (#wtsdevo Pursuit)
“You become what you pursue” is true for much in life. This can span over a variety of things such as your career, relationships, goals, personal growth and more. Pursuing the Lord is my main focus every single day because the more I choose to pursue Him, the more I see myself growing as a Christian and as a person. The process of growth hasn’t been an easy one, but thanks to Christ, I find myself having the strength and courage to step up and move on.
This wasn’t always the case though. As a child, following the time my parents had died in a tragic accident, I pursued sadness and anger purely out of the pain I had to endure at the time. I thought it would help me cope with everything that I was going through. It actually felt right at home in the beginning, but life seemed to crumble apart with time. It seemed like nothing was meant to go right for me. It was just a bad time.
Yet in the middle of that downfall in my life, God opened a window, showing me that there was a life much better than what I was experiencing at the time. All I had to do was give up everything I knew and follow Him. I remember thinking that I had nothing left to lose. I was so desperately in need of love and comfort that I chose to obey Him.
Moving on to this day, here I am growing but in a much better place.
It was a hard lesson for me to learn but I was clearly shown whom I needed to follow in order to live a life that was filled with pure joy. You can live a life today filled with the blessing that Christ had promised for all of us. You just have to accept Him and pursue Him and everything else will fall into place.
