Gal 2:20 “I am crucified with Christ nevertheless I live; yet not I but Christ lives in me, and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God Who loved me and gave Himself for me.” In this, I have everything to live for! When God so fills me with His desires that I don’t care about my own, joy comes with living His life! And being “crucified” isn’t somber, it becomes glorious.

I don’t have the answers for you as to what makes your physical life worth living to you. However, since you are alive I’m going to believe that you are breathing for a reason. If you don’t know what you’re living for ask God to show you what He’d have you do.

I’m praying for you.
