Belief is the Key to the Life You Seek

The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!” Mark 1:15
 
Are you a Rebecca, fine on the outside but harboring a deep secret on the inside?
 
Are you a Jack, trying to live up to the expectations of an abusive father and doing everything you can to make your family happy, but never seeming to get anywhere?
 
Are you a Kevin who has made so many mistakes he doesn’t think he deserves a different life?
 
Are you a Kevin wanting to make a difference in others’ lives and have the true intimacy we all crave?
 
Are you a Randall, seeking your worth in your successful job and wealth, but still wanting the love and approval of a parent?
 
Are you a Toby, in love with someone but that person has other people that he/she puts first?
 
We all have areas in our lives we wish we could change.  But with God it is possible. It is possible to achieve the intimacy and love we deeply desire. We can confess our sins and take off the masks that make us phonies to others. We can get rid of the possessions and wealth and live for something more. We don’t need to compete for the love and approval of a father, because our Heavenly Father already approves.
 
This is us is such a hit because they really are us.
 
But it doesn’t have to stay that way. A new life is possible.
 
All we have to do is believe.
