To Live is Christ

Paul wrote Philippians 1:21 in a dark season of captivity—but what overflowed from his heart was not bitterness, but purpose. “To live is Christ.” It’s a short sentence, but a big declaration.

It means our lives are no longer our own. They’re invitations to serve, to shine, to give, to forgive, to grow.

When we live for Christ, we aren’t living for applause, achievement, or approval. We live to honor the One who rescued us. Whether we’re working, parenting, creating, grieving, or healing—every part of our story can point to Jesus.

That’s how you find joy, even in hard places. That’s how Paul found it in a prison. Because living for Christ fills the ordinary with extraordinary meaning.

🙏 Jesus, let my life reflect You. I surrender my desires, my timing, my plans—and I place it all in Your hands. Teach me to live each day with purpose and passion, knowing I am walking out Your calling on my life.
