Jesus didn’t come to make you whole, just so you could lead a life half-lived.
Do you want to be made whole? What would it take for you to be freed of the painful deficiencies and barriers in your life? For some of us, it would take a miracle. But what if that miracle already happened, just not the way you expected? In John 10:10, Jesus says “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” Jesus did not come to make you whole just so you could lead a life half-lived. What if you chose today to live the biggest, greatest life you can live in spite of your difficulties? What if you took your pain and longing and used them to be the inspiration and the miracle for those around you? What if you were to live your life like you have a savior who loves every broken piece of you and promises you Pwill be whole in him? What would you do with your life if you believed that through Jesus, you already have enough and you already are enough? You are worthy. You are whole. You are loved.
