What controls you?

 
We all need to honestly ask ourselves that question in the title. What drives your life? Self-enjoyment, job, relationships, money, family or what? God is clear for the follower of Jesus what is to control us:

2 Corinthians 5:14

14 For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died;15 and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.

Our love Jesus is to control us. top for a few minutes and seriously think about what controls your life right now. Is it Jesus or something else? The reason our love for Jesus should be above all is described in the rest of the verses. What is that reason...it is plain and simple....Jesus dies for us. Jesus died your your sins and mine. What else could someone or thing do greater than that? There is nothing, not one thing! He deserves our love. Jesus not only died for us but He also rose from the dead, was seen by many as proof, and now sits at the right hand of the Father waiting for the word to come back and get those who love Him to take to heaven.

Why would we let anyone or anything else control us? It don't make sense to allow anything else too! Amen? So if anything but the love of Jesus controls you, kick it out, and put Jesus where He belongs! First place, above all in your life!

Dear Jesus may our love for you control us at all times. May your name receive all glory and honor through our words and deeds this day and everyday!
