A year has gone past us all too quickly for us to keep track on. Now as we have stepped into a new year, this is the best time to reflect back and think if Christ has been the sole owner of our hearts in the previous year. Has He taken center stage in every endeavors of our lives?

“Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?”

2 Corinthians 13:5

Examining ourselves is a task that Paul urges us to do consistently.

Why?

To prove to ourselves that we aren’t ‘reprobates’ since Christ lives in us!

Have we stopped to consider if certain situations in our lives have exposed the old man, who disproves of our own selves of having Christ at the center of our lives?

Let our lives be led by Christ’s desire to do the will of the Father in Heaven. Let our faith through the Spirit shut down every care and snare that sets aside the One who won our hearts with His deep love.

Let Jesus be the center of it all!
