Who Is Jesus To Me?

Christ is truly indescribable.

Who Is Jesus To Me?

In my Evangelism class that I am taking at school, we were posed with a question: Who is Jesus to you? I sat there trying to define Christ and thinking of different names to describe Him when I realized that Christ is truly indescribable.

From being a Savior to Someone who gives me rest, I think that through the different times of my life, who Jesus was to me changed with the circumstances I went through. I grew up in a Christian home and my parents led me to Christ when I was younger so it wasn’t until I was a bit older that my relationship with Christ became more than just a religion — but, a relationship.

So when I was fifteen years old, when I went through a bad breakup, I had to rebuild my trust in The Lord and my parents and even myself. When my dad lost his job, He definitely became the Sustainer of my family. And now, when I’m filled with doubt and stress, and worry about grades, or my major, or my “life plan," He’s the one who brings peace and quietness with His love when life is just so loud.

I think about my testimony and through the things that have happened in my life, I see how we are called to obedience. Whether that’s getting away from a bad relationship or submitting yourself to the Lord so that He will direct your paths — I know that He blesses, abundantly blesses, the obedient.

So that’s what I want to encourage you all with: if you’re struggling with doubt or trust or sin, and that you need to get out of, be obedient. Place yourself in The Word and find people who will pray with you. Seek Christ because at the end of the day, Christ should be our goal and our purpose in life.

And that is my answer for "Who Is Jesus to Me?"
He is my goal and my purpose in life.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
