DAY 1 OF 7

A Better Kind of Life is Waiting for You

Imagine your life to be the best life that it could ever be. Maybe it might involve having certain luxuries in life. A nice car. A big house. Plus all the different amenities inside that you can think of. Maybe you might even have some awesome relationships. Like maybe a good spouse or wonderful children. Maybe someone who does not nag you every day or who does not do anything that might irritate you. What about spotless well-behaved children? Yes. Perfect children. They always bring home the best grades and honors. What about a high-paying job? Yes, that too. A fulfilling job with a very relaxed schedule, where you get to do all the fun stuff you really want to do (like travel or play golf), and still earn all the money you want. Sounds like the good life, right?

Well, I have better news for you! There is a life that is so much better than the best life you can ever imagine. Only God can give you this kind of life. It's a life that is found only when you trust and obey His Son, Jesus Christ. This is the good news! No, it's not about having material things. It's not about having a perfect life. It's about a better kind of life that truly brings joy and fulfillment, and it's waiting for you, if you will just open your heart to God.

About this Plan

Get Real Life

How would you describe your life right now? Awesome? Miserable? If you're like most people, you will describe your life as all the things that you do each day, including perhaps all the relationships you have. Of course, that is your life. But is that all there is to your life? Sadly, if that's all we think about life, we will miss out on what real life is all about. In this devotional we want you to learn that there is a kind of life that is so much better than the best life you can ever imagine.
