As those who are in Christ, we are not of this world but are eagerly awaiting our heavenly home, reborn to live according to a new calling rather than conforming to the patterns of this world. No longer are we caught up in the race to gain what this earthly life offers, for in Christ, we have received a new and abundant life, given to us freely and without measure. This liberates us from the relentless pursuit of worldly things, allowing us to slow down, care for ourselves, and unbind from the temporary satisfactions that offer no true fulfillment. In Christ, we are free to simplify our lives, to minimize and declutter, easing the burdens of this world to focus on what is eternal and truly valuable. We are invited to partake in what matters most, recognizing and embracing the life Christ has brought us. This new identity in Him allows us to experience genuine fulfillment, peace, and joy, as we live out our calling with our eyes fixed on what is eternal.
