All of us begins at different points in life. We also have different experiences that makes who we are today. Amazing thing is only God can meet us where we are now. When we talk to our friends, sometimes it will come to no solutions to our little problem that we have in our mind.
But, then I came across this phrase: The life of Jesus Christ is always our REFERANCE POINT. He is where we refer whenever we feel troubled and the whole world just don't seem to understand us. I dare you to read His WORD and try Him. He surely will answer.
Through reading His words and His life, we could see very well from the perspectives how he live his life. Besides that, it also teaches us to shift our focus from our little problem to how we ought to live our life.
Maybe we are asking the wrong questions and looking at it from our point of view. When we take ourselves out of our problems, and looking at it from a different perspectives, it will gives us a refreshing insights.
Reading and digesting takes time. But, many of us including me want INSTANT ANSWERs, like a microwave or fast food. But, we forgot all about the process that gets us there. The process of refining and sharpening our thinking.
The life of Jesus Christ will always be our REFERANCE point for understanding what is right in life, for where we and the world have gone terrible wrong, and for where there is hope. Because there really is HOPE.

Agreed. Jesus as our reference point. But many a time it clashes with what the world derives as a reference point. Not only that, referring back to Jesus may seem hard because we know His standards can be rather challenging. Nontheless, fight on we must as we follow the one true God.
