"Now to you who believe, this stone is precious . . . " 1 Peter 2:7 Glorying in Christ alone is a foreign concept to so many. Seems like so many people are just in love with Christianity, not Christ. At least that's what it looks like here in America. Sad indeed. I myself struggle to keep Him my all in all.
Brother, the struggle is in refocusing our eyes on what is true beauty and satisfaction, which is Christ, when indwelling sin beckons us to counterfeit pleasures.
