For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God.
– Colossians 3:3 (NLT)
REAL LIFE
A poem and essay by ILMA
What is the focus of your life?
Is it to have pleasure or do follow Christ?
When you accepted Jesus as your Savior
Your real life is hidden in Christ as a believer.
Spend your moments with God as often as you can
He will transform you as you obey his commands
You are dead to this world and alive in Christ
Manifest it by the way you live and stay in his light.

We live in a world where we all aim to have all the comforts and conveniences in life. Social media have created so much wants for us under the guise of needs. Do we really know why we are here on earth? Ecclesiastes 1:2 tells us that everything is meaningless. We try to visualize the life we always wanted but is that what real life is? Is that the will of God for us?
Paul talks to us about our real life hidden with Christ in God. We will only be victorious and share his glory if we follow his lead. He wants us to live the new life and seek the Lord so that we will discern what God really wants for us. Then, we will discover our purpose in fulfilling God’s kingdom here on earth.

REFLECTION
How close are you to fulfilling the real life that God planned for you?

For you died to this life and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. And when Christ, who is your life is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory.
–Colossians 3:3-4 (NLT)
REAL LIFE
A poem and essay by ILMA
What is your purpose in life?
Is it to satisfy yourself or be a light?
When Christ died on the cross for you
Your heart was changed and renewed.
Your real life lies inside what Christ did
It is not from works alone or good deeds
When Christ is your only focus in life
You will share in his glory and take delight.

There are many people who live their lives focused on what the world offers such as power, fame, wealth, career and many more. They have no clue that the real life lies in our spirit and hearts. The physical concerns of our lives such as health, wealth, comfort and emotions are just superficial. We need to go deeper than what we see and how to meet our needs.
When Christ died for us on the cross, he showed us what our real life is. He exampled his humility and love for others. He wasn’t concerned with comforts and meeting his needs. He was reaching out especially to those who are sick, broken and poor. He showed us what life really is by serving others and obeying God.
PRAYER
Lord, help us to live to serve and not be served.
REFLECTION
When did you ever gave up something for someone?
