#15: Live like someone died for you.

Because someone did.
Jesus.

There are going to be days in life when you feel completely alone, yet still surrounded by people. There will be days that you feel overcome with guilt. shame. helplessness. confusion. There will be days that you feel unlovable and that no one is ever going to understand. accept the real you. love you.
In these days, you can choose to sulk. be down about your life situation. give up hope. OR you can choose to live like someone died for you.

To live like someone died for you is to claim the peace, joy, forgiveness and love that Jesus died to give you, and spread it. Spread it through every part of your day. To live like someone died for you is to live with a purpose. To tell a better story.

God loved you and I so much that he gave his only child so that we could experience that love. His child, Jesus, was a man… human… with feelings and emotions just like us. And yet he was obedient and loved us too, so he let people mock him. Beat him. Call him names. Torture him. And hang him to die. All because he loved me. All because he loved you.

So when you feel like no one cares, or that the entire world (and/or your world) is falling to pieces, choose to live like someone died for you. People will notice the difference. And you’ll be amazed at the difference in your own attitude and heart.

“For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son, that whosoever shall believe in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.” –John 3:16
