Turning to Christ

Christ is not one more item on our list. 

"For far too many faithful disciples .. the message of Easter doe not fall on deaf ears but on discouraged ones. Many ... feel defeated, as if they can never do enough and are forever falling short. The message of Easter that I want to celebrate tonight is that Christ came to lift us up, not to put us down." 

Sometimes we get so caught up in our lives, often full of doing good things, that we see turning to the Savior as "one more thing to do." Wilcox pointed out that turning to Christ is not one more thing to do. "It is the only thing to do."

Early on I had a tendency of looking at turning to Christ, and all that it implies, as a whole bunch more things that got added to my already lengthy todo list. Over time and through coaching by the Spirit, I learned that by turning to Christ I would receive help with that list. I know better how to prioritize, how to let go of some tasks and how to deal with challenges on my list.  Turning to Christ and letting Him help me has made all the difference.
