Verse of the Day: Philippians 3:8 NKJV
“Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ.”
The more we know Jesus, the more we will long to know Him. Our knowledge of Christ is like a treasure that only grows in value the more we pursue it. As we climb higher in our relationship with Him, new and deeper revelations will call us forward. Our spiritual hunger for Christ will continue to grow as He fills us with the riches of His grace.
This intimate knowledge of Christ brings joy that lifts us above life’s troubles and sorrows. Though life may be full of trials, knowing Jesus gives us a peace and strength that cannot be shaken. His eternal joy becomes ours, wrapping us in His love and sustaining us through every hardship. As we come to know Christ more fully, we are transformed, becoming more than mere humans bound by suffering, but children of God, clothed in the victory and joy of our living Savior.
So, let us take time each day to sit at the feet of Jesus, to learn from Him, and to seek Him with all our hearts. As we do, we will find that knowing Christ is the greatest joy and fulfillment we could ever experience.
