Backstory:
All my life I have been taught about Jesus, about His amazing sacrifice for me on the cross and His suffering for my sins in the Garden of Gethsemane. I have always had that knowledge and testimony in my life. It has helped me through my many trials and struggles. I can’t imagine my life without knowing about my Savior and knowing and feeling of His love. I just need to remember that because of Him I never need to feel alone. He will always be there for me through whatever I face in my everyday life.

Life Apart from Jesus 

I listened to a podcast that asked the question, “What would your life be like without Jesus?”
This question has made me reflect and I think without him my life would be grievous.
We all go through hard things in life that sometimes show us our weakness,
And yes there are wonderful times that leave us speechless.

I feel like I couldn’t go on or feel hope without a Savior,
No matter what we did in life we would always feel like a failure.
We could never get past our very human behavior,
Without the chance to change our nature.

I feel like I owe everything I have to that Being who suffered all,
He redeemed us all from the fall.
When he comes again I can’t wait to hear his call,
And without his grace and sacrifice all I would be able to do is crawl.

Seriously, I can’t imagine what He had to endure,
He suffered everything for us even though He was always pure.
He descended below it all so He could be our cure,
And without Him this life would never feel secure.

So I can’t imagine my life without Him,
Without his example and atoning blood my life would be grim.
Without Him the light in my life would look really dim,
But I don’t have to worry about my life without Him.

The Takeaway: We are all human and we make so many mistakes every day. We wouldn’t have any hope in this life without our Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ. He suffered and sacrificed Himself so that we can overcome our weaknesses and shortcomings. He will always be by our side to help us every day of our lives.
