Signs that you can’t live without Jesus

By Armen M.

We can’t be separated from Jesus. It cannot work. Nor will it ever work out for us, if we decide to leave him. Happiness will flee, emptiness will rush into your soul and depression will slam on your door right away. The bible tells us that nothing can separate us from Jesus, true. But, somehow we want to test things out. Like that scripture I mentioned earlier.

However, it’s a trap we seem not be able to see. As we start to test scriptures, emptiness and everything non-Jesus starts to flow into our daily lives. Especially our thinking wanders away. That said, I have tried to live without Jesus. I was devastated. I couldn’t think straight. You may ask, why would you do such thing? I don’t know exactly why, but I think I was too selfish in my actions. I had my own plans. Deep in my heart I knew I couldn’t breath that long without him. Nevertheless, I refused to pray and read. Days passed and I started to see signs that I cannot live without Jesus. I had no joy, my goals started to crumble and everything I touched broke. Fears started to be visible. I was ignoring people and caring was the least of the things I did.

It has been often said, that we should look up to those who already have walked the road. We can learn from them. I don’t count myself into the list of those who are, but somehow we can learn from each other. God has plans for everyone, lets respect the callings. It is different for each one of us. But we have one goal — to serve Jesus and make Him known.

Don’t selfishly test passages of the bible just because there’s this own agenda deep inside of your heart. We don’t have eternity on earth. Be reminded of that very fact. Use your time wisely, and as I write this, I point it to myself first. We can be so caught of in things like being seen on social media that we forget there’s air outside. Anyway, we can achieve so much more if we work for each other instead of against.

The best is yet to come,
