I believe that when you are willing to let go of every dream, desire, and everything you ever wanted in order to walk with God, you have everything.

²⁵ If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. Mathew 16:25

I have recently begun to understand this principle. I had to let go of everything that I thought mattered, and I lost everything I thought would make me happy. However, I chose to give up on those things that I thought made me who I am. I died to myself and chose God. Now, He is showing me who I am in Him. I have it all. I am content. Even when my life is not perfect, I have God. When I’m going through a storm, I have God. When you have God, you have it all. So, yes it is attainable through Christ.
