Are You Thirsting for More of Christ?

Self-examination has its place, but dwelling too much on your own failures and shortcomings can lead to discouragement. True spiritual growth happens when you shift your focus from yourself to Christ. He alone is your righteousness, your strength, and your hope. The more you fix your eyes on Him, the more you will walk in confidence and faith.

Today, consider where your focus is. Are you consumed with your own weaknesses, or are you looking to Christ, who is more than sufficient? Take your burdens to Him, trust in His grace, and let His power shape your life.

"Looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God."
— Hebrews 12:2
