CHRIST IS ALL THAT MATTERS
A poem and essay by ILMA
Who is the most important person in your life?
Have you given your loyalty to Jesus Christ?
To all those who committed to the Lord
Christ is all that matters and so is his word.
There is nothing more powerful than Jesus
God’s truth is vital and very precious
The Spirit lives in all of us, all God’s people
Make the Lord your priority and stay faithful.

There are so many things that we are bombarded with in our world today. It is very hard to prioritize what are really important. People have been given so much choices and distractions that it is almost impossible to know how to arrange them in the hierarchy of their importance.
The bible tells us that Christ is all that matters and that he lives in all of us. It is sad that so many people, even some Christians, do not prioritize God in their lives. They surround themselves with all kinds of trivial things that distract them from making Christ the only thing that matters. Instead, we humans get sidetracked with idols which are anything that diverts us from being present with the Lord. Christ is all we need. When we are intimate with him, we can be contented, joyful and be complete.
