Like oxygen

At the beginning of this video people are walking around with oxygen masks on their faces. They think that they are dependent on the masks and oxygen to live and breathe. But what they fail to realize is that their mask is not connected to the source of oxygen. They are actually making it harder to breathe instead of easier.

They think they need oxygen masks to live- not realizing that the Creator of the Universe put oxygen in nature for us to breathe in naturally.

And so often in life we look to this world to fulfill the desires Christ has put in us. And we think if only we had that one thing, then we would experience freedom. So we put masks on our faces, trying to strive and obtain the thing we believe we need, we make ourselves slaves to a lie.

And the more we try to obtain oxygen from the mask instead of the oxygen Jesus gives. The more we try to obtain fulfillment and purpose and success from the things other people in this earth are using like relationships, work, and money- the more enslaved we are. The less free we are. The further away we feel from being able to say "only Christ in me".

So like this song pleas, may we take of the temporary counterfeits, and substitutes, and idols, and empty masks the world gives us and may we experience the life Jesus promises to those who seek Him.

"So come and empty me. So that it's you I breathe. I want my life to be only Christ in me.
So I will fix my eyes cause you're my source of life. I need the world to see it's only Christ in me."
