COMPLETE WHEN UNITED IN CHRIST
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you become a believer of Jesus, you are complete
You have nothing to worry about or even want to compete
Your union with Christ concludes your purpose in life
It brings much peace, joy and gives you insights.
Christ is the head over every ruler and authority
If you trust him, you will be given stability
Never turn your back on the one true God
You will be empty and always have a lack.

I lived many years of my life thinking that I was fulfilled by my career and roles in life. I took pride in being a self-made woman. I denied the emptiness I felt all those years that I proclaimed I was good at many things. It didn’t dawn on me that it wasn’t me but the presence of Jesus that can complete me. No wonder I was still anxious and empty inside. God released me from the thought that I was self-made. He made me and I took credit for all of it, leaving him out of the picture. When I became born again, he released me from this stronghold and gave me humility to admit that I will be nothing without him. I also learned to submit to his authority.

God has united you with Christ Jesus. For our benefit, God made him to be wisdom itself. Christ made us right with God, He made us pure and holy and he freed us from sin.
– 1 Corinthians 1:30 (NLT)
FOR YOUR BENEFIT
A poem and essay by ILMA
The minute you believe in Jesus Christ
You will be able to live in his light
For your benefit, God has united you with him
He has sent his son so you can be redeemed.
Our heavenly Father made Christ to be wisdom
In him alone you will have joy and freedom
For your benefit, Christ made us right with God
It is only right to give him thanks and laud.

Have you ever experienced being given much appreciation for what you do? I was a teacher of Speech, Art and Theater for fifteen years. On Teacher’s Day celebration, all of the faculty were given royal treatment and appreciation for how we mold the lives of the youth. It is a nice feeling to be thought of and admired for what one does. How would you feel if the royal treatment you will receive comes from God himself?
The bible tells us that Christ made us right with God and made us holy and pure. God gave us his only begotten Son so we can be freed from sin. What an awesome honor it is what Christ did for our benefit!
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for giving your Son for my benefit.
REFLECTION
How has Christ death affected your life?
